While Garland was picked up in a trade with the Arizona Coyotes, his current contract was negotiated by previous Vancouver GM Jim Benning. Garland has been good the past two seasons, putting up 52 and 46 points respectively. However, it seems the two sides believe change will make things better. It also worth noting that Garland recently changed agents, and is now represented by Judd Moldaver. Moldaver's client list includes
Connor McDavid and
Auston Matthews, among several others.
