Any interest? Filip Hronek?  
 

Rumors also have Quinn Hughes on the block.  I assume the rumor mill feels he wants to come East to play with his brothers in NJ.

Garland and Sherwood have no current trade protection. Garland has a long deal that won’t age well though. Forbort (injured at present) might be a good 7th D. Other than those 3, all of their vets have trade protection or injury history (Chytyl). I think Sherwood and Forbort would be good adds (I don’t know if Forbort’s injury is long-term serious).

Disagree on Garland’s long term deal not aging well. Strong analytic guy with good middle 6/borderline 2nd line production. Getting paid $6M through 2031, by 2031 $6M will be the new $3M-$4M. 

Kulich for Garland straight up is a trade I would take. Garland is a guy that signals to your locker room that you’re taking competing seriously, and even if it doesn’t immediately pay off in playoffs this year it’s still a guy that helps long term. To shape this roster into a more serious NHL team, eventually one of Kulich/Östlund/Rosen will need to go for a veteran guy that helps immediately and Garland is one of those guys. Most importantly, he’s one of those guys and he doesn’t have trade protection. 

I doubt Adams would do it because he’s a lame duck, but it’d do wonders for this team.

On further consideration, I agree. I can’t see Adams making such a trade.

This would be an excellent trade, Garland plays exactly like Benson and Doan and Kozak, in fact he probably is more fiesty then all 3, he is always in front of the net and is an ass to play against. He plays just like Brendan Galagher. 

I suggested on another site we trade Östlund for Garland, but I would trade Kulich too, either one is fine by me. There isnt room for both of those players moving forward, especially is Thompson is gonna be 1 center and Norris as 2. Vancouver wants centers so either one of these players would interest them. I just dont know if they trade for Kulich when he is injured, so thats why I thought Östlund.

This would be very similiar to the Savoie Mcloed deal so we know KA has made a deal like this before. I think an Östlund/Kulich would be a very good deal for Vancouver. 

Would mean we would likely have to move out some cap to fit this in the future, especially with Tuch hopefully resigned. Might mean UPL needs to go.
