(It’s almost too perfect that the Canucks are trying to wiggle out of the Garland contract, too.) Instead, they made a different version of the same mistake when they sent those players plus futures including the ninth pick of the 2021 NHL Draft for Ekman-Larsson and Conor Garland. The Canucks could have enjoyed the freedom of being rid of previous mistakes in foolish veteran investments (Loui Eriksson, Jay Beagle and Antoine Roussel) if they merely absorbed a year of pain. Truly, the Oliver Ekman-Larsson buyout feels all too fitting. Some of that despair stems from the franchise’s penchant to light the future on fire in the dim hopes of temporary gains. Amid the many comical mistakes the Canucks have made over the years, they’ve managed to land some high-end players, especially Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes, yet they go into the 2023 offseason looking a bit grim.
Gaze upon the Vancouver Canucks’ salary structure - especially their defense - and risk falling into a pit of despair.
