If Conor Garland was told two years ago that he'd be in the NHL playing on a line with Taylor Hall, what would have been his response?
"The Coyotes probably traded for him."
Really, Conor? That's all you've got?
It might not be as colorful a response as we were hoping, but it does help illustrate a point about Garland, who leads the Coyotes with 14 goals this season.
Garland isn't fazed by big-name linemates or pressure situations. He's playing the same way, regardless if he's getting minutes on the fourth line or first.
Right now, it's the latter.
