It is correct - Garrison will make $6.5 million this season.
His salary is $6.5 million for the 2013-2014 season, but only $4.5 million (the average of his 5-year contract) counts to the salary cap. Go to

and click on the "Salaries" tab (the default is cap hit).
Garrison is a pretty solid D-man, and has the potential to be a 15-goals a season scorer. (He scored 16 goals with the Panthers in 2011-2012 and 8 in 47 games with the Canucks in 2012-2013).
Three points for Mason Raymond tonight!
Ah shit, nux traded him away …
Kn.
They never used him to his full potential. AV treated him like some kind of power-forward lite (he is a fast skater with good hands but not too good around physical play).
