Ethan Bear played 61 games with the Canucks, recording 16 points and +6 in the 2022-23 season. Bear suffered a shoulder injury playing in the World Cup of Hockey that led to shoulder surgery, which Bear is still recovering from, with an estimated return date in December.
Allvin has been looking for a right-handed defenseman who can play alongside Quinn Hughes. Moving Garland in a deal that saves Cap could allow the Canucks to bring in Bear on a pro-rated deal.
Allvin will continue to monitor the trade opportunities for Garland as he continues to rebuild his defensive core.
