Vancouver Canucks sign forward Conor Garland to five-year, US$24.75-million deal
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have locked up one of their latest acquisitions, signing forward Conor Garland to a five-year contract.
The club says the deal comes with an average annual value of US$4.95 million.
Vancouver picked up Garland and veteran defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson in a blockbuster trade with the Arizona Coyotes ahead of the first round of the NHL entry draft on Friday.
In exchange, the Coyotes got Vancouver’s first-round pick in this year’s draft (No. 9), forwards Jay Beagle, Loui Eriksson and Antoine Roussel, the Canucks’ second-round selection in 2022 and the team’s seventh-round pick in 2023.
