MAJOR: Canucks Allow Star Winger to Discuss Trade With Other Teams

The Vancouver Canucks have struggled to compete in the last few seasons. Now one of their star players is looking to potentially move on.

The Canucks have been rumored to be retooling their roster all offseason. Now on the opening day of the season, some major news has dropped regarding one of their stars. The Vancouver Canucks have reportedly allowed star forward Conor Garland to seek a trade according to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman.

This move could benefit both sides who are looking for a fresh start after a frustrating experience together.

Conor Garland is entering his 3rd season with the Vancouver Canucks. In his first two seasons, he had 52 and 46 points. This was a major drop-off after his breakout in Arizona of 39 points in 49 games.

Now the 27-year-old is looking for a new opportunity in a new location. The Canucks are also dealing with severe cap space issues where they are currently right at the cap. Moving Garland's $4,950,000 contract could provide some much-needed flexibility.
