Count Conor Garland the latest person in Vancouver to say 'thank you Jim!'
The crafty winger is set to sign a six-year, $36-million contract extension with the Vancouver Canucks — whose president of hockey operations is Jim Rutherford, of course — CHEK-TV's Rick Dhaliwal reported Thursday evening. Dhaliwal's connections with agents and team sources is well-known so it's a safe bet his information is accurate.

Sounds like the Connor Garland extension in Vancouver could be 6 years and 36 million dollars.
— Rick Dhaliwal (@DhaliwalSports) June 27, 2025
The Canucks won't be able to officially report the deal until free agency opens on July 1 because he still has one year to go on his current deal, which carries a cap hit of $4.95 million for next season.
Garland's new deal will kick in for the 2026-27 season.
It's really the second time, or even third, Garland has been able to thank a James in charge of the Canucks, after Jim Benning first traded for Garland in the summer of 2021 and then again not long after when Benning signed Garland to his current deal.
Playing for the Canucks has proven to be an excellent experience for the Massachusetts native, who has tallied 197 points over his four seasons as a Canuck. His hustle and obvious desire to win night in night out has made him a fan favourite as well.
A six-year deal will carry Garland until he's 36. He was set to be an unrestricted free agent after his current contract expired.
