Not enough from the leafs. No one wants leafs garbage

 

[DFF]

Sound good. The Oilers really need Jake

 

[Jumptheshark]

Gardiner has one year left. Oilers move down 10 spots or something for a player who might not be an oiler in 14 months?

 

[The Great Weal]

Awful for the Oilers

 

[TMLeafs18]

Not the time to post a Gardiner trade on these boards. He just had the worst game of his life. So not only will other teams hate him but so do leafs fans.

 

[nturn06]

I get the the Leafs trade their first to get rid of Gardiner, but why do the Oilers need to throw anything in?

 

[PinkFly]

As a Leafs fan I would do Gardiner + Matthews for 9th overall. Addition by subtraction

 

[Magic Man]

Gardiner will be reupped by the Leafs in the summer.

Don't think the Oilers would have any interest.

Not worth dropping - what - 14 spots for a guy with a year on his deal.

Also we can’t really add without sending money back.

Oilers send 9th and Sekera

Leafs send whatever their pick is and Gardiner, who the Oilers then extend.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Gardiner would get the Schultz treatment in Edmonton.

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

Gardiner for Russell straight up.

 

[olli]

Don't see why Edmonton would have much interest in Gardiner. They need a much better d-man than him.

Hopefully his bodyguard Roman too?

 

[EDMOILERS9729]

Hes a leftie. No interest in a lefty unless its OEL.

 

[zar]

Did you just watch Game 7 of the Bruins/Leafs series? I knew Gardiner had his challenges defensively but that was Oilers Justin Schultz territory tonight... you know, when Schultz totally sucked ass.

I might consider it if you take Lucic too.

Damn Bernie supporters.

 

[MagicalRazor]

I'd take a second in the 31-40 range for him right now

 

[Volica]

Wasn’t Gardiner like a legit top 2 guy able to shutdown the other teams best players?

What happened.

Also, in Edmonton this guy would get crucified.

You mean Schultz treatment in traaano...
The guy cost leafs the series...

Yeah, the guy has a lot of talent, but he's dumb as a rock, soft and lazy. Honestly, I'm done with him in Toronto, and I don't think we'll get a tonne for him in a trade, but I still want him dealt this offseason.

I don't think his value will be high, but there are teams he could fit well on - Toronto just isn't one of them, we've already got two LDs who have similar talent with more reliability (Rielly and Dermott). The right team for Gards would have to be a team that can hide his sketchiness, while benefitting a lot from the offence he provides on the 2nd pair and 1st-or-2nd PP. Maybe a team like the Kings, Panthers, Canucks or Hawks? He might even fit on the Knights, seems to be a good place for "skilled castoff" types to get a new start. Edmonton doesn't make much sense, as they've already got Klefbom and Nurse on the left side, needs to be a team with a bit more of a hole at 2nd pair LD.

 

[pmwlker]

Don’t the Oilers need a 2RD not a lefty? Does Gardiner even play his off side? Regardless I don’t think value is even if the pick is 9th overall

He's more of a #3 high-end PMD. Just little margin of error against a team like Boston, and he's being asked to do too much here- also just had a real bad game.

 

[belair]

Gardiner to Edmonton would make some sense because it would allow us to move a left D like Klefbom for a right D this summer and not miss out on the depth. But the only issue is Toronto having to take similar salary in return. It's not something I'd say is impossible though. There certianly would be some interest.
