Can we please trade Gardiner now?

I legit can't remember the last time a cup contending team sold off a top 4 dman at the deadline.
You just don't see it.

But, but feelings!!

Legit cup contenders dont have players booed out of town. You move that player. For all we know these are psychological related spasms. They werent there before crying on tv. Who knows, maybe some of the goofy type posters from here or twitter are harassing he and his wife.

Its a bad scene being booed, smart GMs find that player a new home. We did nothing.

he is just overrated,likely some team will give him 6 million at 5 years but in reality he's a number 4 maybe 5 on a real good team
I still believe the leafs are 2 d men away from a cup

Its the JVR & Phaneuf situations all over again. Both were replaced rather easily and so will Gards this summer.

Actually, lets get to the meat of it.

No fancy corsi stats or scoring "chances".......

Straight up goals allowed/60 when on the ice:

Gardiner: 1.85: (12th out of 110)

But his mistakes cost tons of goals.

Lol. I honestly don't understand how he can be criticized when you realize we just don't give up many goals when he's on the ice. And we outscore that number...heavily. He's a huge net-positive.
