The Tampa Bay Lightning took advantage of the Vancouver Canucks desire to shed a veteran defenceman.
Javi
Martinez Jersey . Numbers Game looks at the deal sending Jason Garrison
back to the state of Florida. The Lighting Get: D Jason Garrison and LW
Jeff Costello. Garrison, 29, is a defenceman with good size and a cannon of a
shot from the point who tied a career-high with 33 points last seasn and will be
able to handle top-four minutes on the Tampa Bay defence. Garrison has played
more than 20 minutes per game in each of the past four seasons and, over the
course of those four years, no defenceman has fired shots at a higher rate on
the power play. Over the past three seasons, he ranks 15th among defencemen with
2.16 shots on goal per game and has missed a total of seven games, so hes been
durable. Last season wasnt Garrisons best, in terms of possession stats, but hes
had positive possession numbers in the past, so last year shouldnt preclude him
from being a useful part of the Tampa Bay defence. In Tampa Bay, the Lightning
really needed an upgrade on defence. Victor Hedman and Matt Carle were the only
defencemen on the roster that averaged more than 20 minutes per game last season
and Garrison will add stability, as well as a power play point threat, to that
group. Garrison had to waive his no-trade clause for the deal to go through, and
he has four years, at a cap hit of $4.6-million, remaining on his contract. Its
also not a bad deal for Tampa Bay since the contracdt was front-loaded, so the
last four years come at a total cost of $15.6-million (an average of
$3.9-million per season). Costello is a 23-year-old winger who finished a
four-year career at Notre Dame, scoring 82 points in 145 games. He was acquired
from Ottawa at the trade deadline, but hes not signed and may be set to become a
pro free agent after August 15. The Lightning dont currently have much room on
their reserve list, and the Canucks could also use the extra room in their
attempts to acquire more players. The Canucks Get: A second-round pick. The 50th
overall pick presents about a one-in-three chance of netting an NHL player.
While its useful to get an asset, the move is more about clearing room on the
Vancouver blueline. Chris Tanev joins Dan Hamhuis, Kevin Bieksa and
Alexander Edler in the top four on defence, and newly-acquired Luca Sbisa can
pair with Ryan Stanton on the third pair, so there was room for the Canucks to
move out an established NHL defenceman and, just as importantly move out the
accompanying salary. Its been a busy day, just leading up to the draft, for the
Canucks, so there could very well be more to come but, whats been done
establishes that Vancouver will be younger than they were last season, with
financial flexibility to make moves this summer if they so choose. With a new
regime, it would come as no surprise if the Canucks continue to be active in
their attempt to re-build the roster. Scott Cullen can be reached at

Arsenal could be planning to loan striker Yaya Sanogo in January and three
Premier League teams could be interested in finding him in their lineup. The
Daily Star is reporting that Aston Villa, Sunderland and Crystal Palace could
all attempt to land the 19-year-old. The French striker could be the key
difference in keeping a struggling team afloat at the bottom of the Premier
League. Holding Tight Paul Lambert does not appear willing to allow either Ron
Vlaar or Fabian Delph leave Aston Villa in January according to a story in the
Daily Mirror. Lambert tells the Daily Mirror, Would any amount of money tempt
me? No. Theyll not go anywhere in January. Its my say. Was that my
recommendation to the owner Randy Lerner? Absolutely. VVlaar has been linked
with both Manchester United and Arsenal, while Delph has been rumoured to be on
the radar of Liverpool.
David
Alaba Jersey. North London Battle Arsenal could swoop in and grab
Tottenham transfer target Morgan Schneiderlin from Southampton, according to a
report in the Daily Telegraph. The Saints already turned down a ?10 million
offer from Tottenham in the summer and also state that Schneiderlin isnt going
to be for sale in January. If the Frenchman is allowed to leave Southampton, it
is believed that Arsenal are prepared to make a bid for his services. Theo
Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Calum Chambers have all already made the
move from Southampton to Arsenal so a successful relationship exists between the
two teams.
