The rumours are intensifying when it comes to Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland.

According to The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta, the Boston Bruins have re-engaged in trade talks surrounding Conor Garland. Pagnotta names Matthew Poitras and Mason Lohrei as part of a potential package.

This reporting is in line with the reporting over the last few days.

After initially reporting that the Bruins had interest in Garland in late November, RG Media’s Jimmy Murphy reported that the Bruins were once again in on Garland on Monday. Shortly after, Murphy shared that the Bruins had plenty of competition for Garland.

That competition was made public when NHL.com’s Stefen Rosner reported on Tuesday that the New York Islanders were having serious discussions with the Canucks on Garland.

Now, Pagnotta is reporting that the Bruins are back in the mix, with Poitras and/or Lohrei potentially part of the return.

Poitras, 21, is a 6’0″, 189-lb right-shot centreman. He is currently playing in the American Hockey League with the Providence Bruins. In 49 games in the AHL, Poitras has 10 goals and 21 assists for 31 points with a minus-five rating.

Lohrei, 25, is a 6’5″ left-shot defenceman. He has six goals and 17 assists for 23 points with a plus-10 rating in 54 games in Boston this season. After averaging nearly 20 minutes of ice time per game last year, he has dropped down to 16:39 in 2025-26.

Garland, 29, is having a down year by his standards in a Canucks uniform. After finishing between 46 and 52 points throughout his first four years in Vancouver, Garland is now on pace to finish with 37 points in 71 games.

The Scituate, Massachusetts native signed a six-year, $36 million extension with the Canucks on July 1. The deal that kicks in next season carries a $6 million average annual value, with a full no-movement clause for the first three seasons, and a 15-team no-trade list for the final three years of the contract. Under Garland’s current deal, he has no trade protection ahead of March 6’s NHL Trade Deadline.
