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. |
If Garrison is overpaid at 4.6m what do you guys think of Wideman at 5.2m as an offensive defenceman but has 1 goal less Garrison?
Forward depth is a problem if Kesler is out since we didnt have a 3rd and 2nd line center and forced players to play out of their role. But with the Roy trade that preety much fixes that problem and were just waiting for Kesler to return.
The Canucks are still looking for upgrades so still room for improvement.
