Whew! Just when I thought that the Canucks were about to have a chance to become good, they pull themselves back in!
It isn't terrible, but I don't see the need to give up the 9th overall pick just to get out of these deals, when it is looking like a non-contending team anyway.

Precisely my friend.
Waiting would've paid off massively for them. And they only had to wait one year to gain flexibility, options, and the ability to extend their guys without sacrifice.
Instead they nuke themselves with dead cap long term just to get Garland in there right away. Despite not being in a position to compete tomorrow or anything.
