Overview
- CHEK’s Rick Dhaliwal reported the shift on Donnie & Dhali, as relayed by CanucksArmy and Daily Hive, and the team has not confirmed it.
- Earlier in the season Vancouver fielded calls but preferred to keep Garland; Dhaliwal now says management is "not against" a move.
- Garland signed a six-year, $36 million extension on July 1, 2025 that includes a full no‑movement clause in years 1–3 and a 15‑team modified no‑trade list in years 4–6.
- He has no trade protection until July 1, 2026, with reporting noting a two‑month window after the March 6 deadline to complete a deal before clauses take effect.
- The 29‑year‑old has 7 goals and 18 assists in 46 games this season despite injuries, maintaining a roughly 45‑point pace after four straight 46–52‑point campaigns.
