Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 2m
#Canucks acquire 50th overall pick from Tampa Bay for Jason Garrison, the rights to Jeff Costello and Van's 7th round pick in 2015.

just freed up a SHIT load of cap room. I have a feeling canucks are going hard after UFAs now

Not much of a return for Garrison. I didn't think he played that badly this year.

Costello was a Canucks prospect (I use that term lightly) so the Lightning pick him up and the Nucks 7th. I guess it's all about the cap space and Garrison is slightly overpaid I suppose.

Any word on what's going to happen with Mr. Hat?

Well, Frankie Corrado should definitely be a full time member of the Canucks next season.

For those wondering, Vancouver did not retain any salary in the Garrison deal. Tampa takes on full contract

I'll say this, credit to Jim Benning for coming in and making some bold moves, unlike a certain GM who talks about making bold moves and then proceeds to sit on his thumb and spin.

I agree. What's the point of a new GM if he just keeps all of the old GM's personnel in place?

this proves it.
