Proposal: Dumba (Min) for Gardiner (Tor)

[Cams]

Straight up? (Obviously not based on reaction)

Does Min need a LD? Leafs do need a RD - even an RFA in Dumba's situation.

Plus, Gardiner is a home town guy, getting to go back to Minnesota, plus a fresh start.

Let's add as a starting point.......for a deal based around these 2....maybe an extended Gardiner....?

I love gardiner but based on age and contract theres no way wild do it

 

[cyris]

Why is Minny trading the younger player with years of team control for an older impending UFA?

What the f*** lol

Minnesota does not need LD. If we did need LD, we would not trade Dumba for an older, worse player that's a year away from UFA status.

And I like Gardiner okay, but I couldn't care less about where he's from.

Minnesota should laugh at this and hang up. Awful deal for them, Dumba is considerably better, not to mention 4 years younger and already way better than Gardiner.

wild easily decline. they would have an imbalance of lhd and rhd, like most of the nhl, and apparently thats important. gardiner is a free agent next season and the wild always have cap issues so chances are they won't re-sign him. dumba is an rfa but probably won't make as much as gardiner in 2019 and beyond.

Counter-offer: Zucker for Nylander. Straight up.

Good thing I didn’t make a whole thread about it. Phew.

Seriously? Cmon. Try to atleast pretend to not be a total homer.

You can take the time you saved to come up with your next dumb post.

 

[Advanced stats]

Minnesota would literally say no if it was Gardiner+ Gardiner for Dumba.

Im pretty sure this is tongue in cheek since the OP suggested an even stupider trade. Gardiner for Dumba is dumb... Just like Zucker for Nylander.. Difference tho.. OP was serious.. Zuck for Nylander is not.

We very much do not.

Always like the #oneofus factor though.

Yeah, next time I’ll make sure to dedicate some of the time to adding the sarcasm emoji so people like you don’t think I’m dumb enough to seriously suggest Zucker for Nylander in a thread where the OP made an equivalent offer the other way.

I like you. You get it.

 

[garyturner3]

Wild obviously decline this one. And that's coming from someone that thinks Gardiner is extremely underrated.

 

[Fjordy]

That would be terrible for Minnesota.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Wild don't do this, I would add to make this deal happen as I really like Dumba. However, Gardiner is the most under rated player on this site it's insane. I swear to god no one watches this kid aside from game 7 apparently and highlights of his mistakes. After next season he is going to move on due to the cap, and watch this site is going to pull another Kessel with him. He'll go from an over rated player who can't play when it counts and *insert tons of criticism* to an elite player who has magically removed all these faults from their game.. Oh and people will say "Why were Leaf fans so hard on him??".

I dunno that he's the most underrated player on the site, but he amount of crap the takes is kind of bizarre.

 

[Bonzo111]

haven't seen much of Dumba but I am not a Gardiner fan at all. I hope we trade him this summer.

There would have to be a plus from the leafs and I'm saying that with thick rimmed homer glasses. Even if you bring up gardiners production (which is inarguably upper teir for defenceman) and without even looking at the differences defensively; it's still an easy no from minny based on age, years of control, and cost for next contract. It might be closer if Gardiner had 2 or 3 years left on his contract with his current cap hit, not 1 year.
