I think we'd all agree that Garrison was great if he was being paid 3 million per. This is a classic case of looking at the player through the lens of the contract, which is flawed because it fails to take into account the UFA premium. Garrison is fine for what the Canucks need; he's a little overpaid but he's hardly alone in that respect.
Vancouver's real problem is forward depth.
