A new report has revealed that an Original Six club is looking at landing Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland, three months after they initially showed interest.
Towards the end of November, the Vancouver Canucks placed all of their pending unrestricted free agents on the trade block, which was understandable given where the club sits in the NHL’s standings and their chances of making the playoffs are zero, but there hasn’t been a ton of action on those players just yet.
While the market might be quiet for Vancouver’s pending UFAs, some of their veteran players, including forward Conor Garland, are beginning to draw interest, which could lead to a very busy week for Patrik Allvin and the team’s front office.

“They have 100 percent called on both players. They want scoring and believe that with some more, this team can definitely stay in the race and make some noise.” A source told Murphy in November.
According to two NHL sources, Canucks wingers Conor Garland and Brock Boeser are in play as the March 6 NHL Trade Deadline approaches, and the Bruins once again have interest in both.” Murphy said.
Garland, 29, would immediately give Boston an offensive boost in their top-six as they look to avoid missing out on the Stanley Cup Playoffs in back-to-back years, something they haven’t done since 2015 & 2016.
The Bruins have the assets required to get a Conor Garland trade done before the deadline, with prospects like Matthew Poitras and Dans Locmelis being potential target for Patrik Allvin this week, only if talks progress.
