Garland was acquired from the Coyotes last week and the RFA quickly signed a five-year extension with his new team. In Vancouver, Garland will play with either Elias Pettersson or Bo Horvat and has averaged 24 goals and 31 assists (55 points) per 82 games over the last two seasons.

Jaros immediately signed a two-way contract with the Devils after being dealt from San Jose. Jaros has spent most of his time in the AHL over the last two seasons, so expect that to be the case again in 2021-22.

This is the second time in seventh months that Jaros has been traded. After moving from Ottawa to San Jose, Jatos had one assist in seven games with the Sharks and three assists in 11 AHL games. In New Jersey, he will likely report to the AHL to start 2021-22.

Contract talks between the Coyotes and Garland broke down and it was widely expected that he would be traded. The deal ended up being much larger and more complex than anyone could have predicted, but Garland should be a great fit in the Canucks new top-6. Garland is tied for 99th with 78 points (34G / 44A) over the last two seasons. Garland will likely replace Tanner Pearson on a line with Bo Horvat and Nils Hoglander.


Monahan has had an extremely disappointing season, scoring just 10 goals with 18 assists (28 points) in 50 games. Playing through a hip injury could help explain some of his inconsistencies throughout the season. The final four games are completely meaningless, so shutting him down now ensures he'll be ready for the start of the 2022 season.

Coyle will be ready for the playoffs but is expected to miss the final two games of the season. With Coyle out, the Bruins will likely get a look at Ondrej Kase, who has missed almost all of 2021.
