I remember when I thought we fleeced Arizona by getting a #2 defenseman, a stud in garland, in exchange for 12M of dead weight, 9th overall, and a 2nd

I told my dad, who’s the eternal optimist, it had the potential to be the worst trade in franchise history and he scoffed. When OEL was bought out this summer, he admitted that it was one of the worst trades the Canucks have ever made.

OEL wasn’t doing so great when we traded for him, but it’s remarkable how much he dropped off even further. I still feel like Garland could have a 60pt year for us and hope we don’t trade him. Bad trade for sure

That algo woke up and chose violence.
