Sometimes the biggest deadline day deals are the ones that aren’t made. With many teams looking to make the final playoff push everyone is competing against each other to secure that one player that puts them over the top. Sometimes a team pulls the trigger and other times they stand pat with their current roster. This is one of those deals that didn’t happen.
With just hours before the deadline, the Arizona Outlaws GM had a crazy idea. What if he could acquire arguably the league’s biggest star? The wheels began spinning in the Outlaws front office as the team was closing in on star wide receiver Josh Garden. The Yellowknife Wraiths’ wide out was in the final year of his deal and many teams around the league think he might be available this offseason as a free agent. The Outlaws reached out to the Wraiths’ front office to see if they would be open to dealing Garden. Sources say that the Wraiths front office quickly put out a statement that Garden was already negotiating an extension with the team. However, there has been no confirmation of this from Garden.
Despite our prying, we have been unable to obtain any details regarding what the Outlaws were willing to offer in exchange for Garden. With no extension in sight, it appears ever more likely that Garden could leave the Wraiths in the offseason. If he leaves and the Wraiths get nothing in return, they will surely be asking themselves if this is the one deal they should have listened to.
