David Kirouac-USA TODAY Sports - Report: Canucks Prospect Daimon Gardner Enters The NCAA Transfer PortalVancouver Canucks prospect Daimon Gardner looks to be on the move as the 2022 fourth-rounder has reportedly entered the NCAA transfer portal. According to Brad Elliott Schlossman of the "Grand Forks Herald," Gardner is set to leave Clarkson University this summer for another program. In his only season with Clarkson University, the 20-year-old forward posted one goal and six assists in 29 games.

Exceptions are if there's a head coaching change or if the player's aid is reduced. Players can commit up until school begins. Due to pending litigation, multiple-time transfers who enter the portal during the window will be eligible immediately."
