2025 Fantasy Outlook
From a pure points perspective, Garland’s 2024-25 production was right in line with what he produced in the previous three seasons, hovering around the 20-goal, 30-assist mark. However, how he got there last year had a few notable differences. He had a career-high average time on ice, eclipsing last year’s mark by 4:07, yet he still finished with fewer shots on goal (171) than he did on last season’s Canucks team (200). With the increased usage, his power play scoring showed a sizable improvement with the 29-year-old producing seven goals and nine assists with the man advantage. If the two-time 20-goal scorer gets the same usage he got last season in 2025-26 as a top-six forward and member of the top power play, all it might take for Garland to break out over 60 points is better even-strength production, which he has delivered at other points in his career.

Overall
Signed a six-year, $36 million contract extension with the Canucks in July of 2025.
Off to Columbus
Garland was traded to the Blue Jackets from the Canucks on Thursday in exchange for a 2028 second-round pick and a 2026 third-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Garland signed a six-year, $36 million extension with the Canucks back in July, but he'll begin that deal as a member of the Blue Jackets following the trade. The 29-year-old winger figures to be a top-six regular for Columbus moving forward. He had a rough season in Vancouver with 26 points over 50 contests, but he had posted at least 46 points in each of his first four years with the Canucks before struggling in 2025-26. The Blue Jackets are banking that he'll be able to rediscover that form with a change of scenery, and playing for a team on the rise rather than one facing more retooling will likely help his numbers.

2019
Garland isn't a standout forward, but he is a consistent one, recording 17-20 goals and 46-52 points in each of the past three seasons. He finished 2023-24 with 20 markers and 27 assists to go along with 35 PIM, 200 shots and 53 hits. The Massachusetts native served primarily in a third-line capacity last year, and the 28-year-old is expected to continue in the same role this year. There's nothing to get excited for here but safe can be nice too, and if you're at the point of a fantasy draft where a forward who is a strong bet to record 40-50 points has appeal, then snatch Garland.
