The\u00a0Vancouver\u00a0Canucks have dealt winger Conor Garland to the Columbus Blue Jackets ahead of the NHL’s trade deadline on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team announced late Thursday that they’ll receive a second-round pick in the 2028 draft and a third-round selection this year in exchange for the 29-year-old forward.<\/p>\n

Garland has seven goals and 26 points over 50 games this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The feisty forward from Scituate, Mass., signed a six-year, $36-million US extension with the Canucks last July \u2014 a contract that doesn\u2019t kick in until the 2026-27 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Originally selected by Arizona in the fifth round of the 2015 draft, he has 129 goals and 317 points across 535 regular-season games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vancouver\u00a0acquired Garland and defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson from the Coyotes in July 2021. The deal saw the Canucks send Jay Beagle, Loui Eriksson, Antoine Roussel and first-, second-, and seventh-round draft picks to Arizona.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really appreciate all that Conor has done for the hockey club and want to thank him for his five years in\u00a0Vancouver,\u201d Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA play driver and strong competitor, he was a key contributor on the ice. Collecting two more draft picks aligns really well with our vision moving forward and will help us in our rebuild.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deal is the latest move for a rebuilding Canucks (18-36-7) team that sits at the bottom of the NHL standings. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, they traded veteran defenceman Tyler Myers<\/a> to the Dallas Stars for a second-round pick in the 2027 draft and a fourth-round selection in 2029.<\/p>\n

In December, the Canucks made a blockbuster move when they traded away their captain Quinn Hughes<\/a> for three players and a first-round draft pick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":518091,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194298],"tags":[49,48,55],"class_list":["post-518090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vancouver","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-vancouver"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=518090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518090\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/518091"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
