I would be disappointed if they signed him. I don’t think he’s part of the solution. Would get rid of some losing culture in the room if they didn’t sign him and maybe make some guys uncomfortable.
While I agree it is best to let him go considering the cap constraints, I am concerned about the hole this will leave on the back end and how it will be filled.
He says Toronto wants to keep him, if possible, and Gardiner wants to stay, but it comes down to when/if Marleau, Zaitsev and the like get moved.
I mean, our left side is find.
Rielly
Muzzin
Rosen
Then we have Dermott playing the right side when he returns.
To me, if we get enough cap room to spend 5+ on Gardiner, I would much rather go to Vegas, and offer a draft pick and/or a prospect to get Colin Miller for our right side. Cheaper, doesn't have a worn down back either.
Because GARDINER f***ING SUCKS...Why not both?
Muzzin-Rielly
Gardiner-Miller
Dermott/Rosen-Liljegren/Dermott
Babcock would though, so another reason to pass
Exactly what I was going to write. He's a good player but get's exposed in the playoffs. Time to move on.NO. NO. NO.
The Leafs never want to win anything, do they? "Hey, this guy's choked multiple times in pressure situations and is a guy the opponents target in the playoffs because he's a mistake-prone gaffe machine, let's LOCK HIM UP! 8 more years of watching him cost us series!"
I don’t think they should sign him either but what about trading his rights if he’s in high demand why not get something for himI would be disappointed if they signed him. I don’t think he’s part of the solution. Would get rid of some losing culture in the room if they didn’t sign him and maybe make some guys uncomfortable.
It's pretty sad when our defence is so bad that signing would be a good thing.No pls no!!!!!
Because GARDINER ****ING SUCKS...
I think Friedman is just connecting dots here and there's nothing more to the story.
Gardiner essentially means that that Leafs won't be able to re-sign one of Muzzin, Kadri, Rielly, or Andersen in the future.
Time to move on.
Letting Zaitsev aka one of our two best defensive D and only RD go and to resign another offensive LD? Sounds very very wrong.
I'd love him back. He's exactly what we'll be looking for if we lose him.
This part of the conversation between Mirtle & Draglikepull made some sense to me.
Clearly, it's all bullshit. Let's just ignore that teams work to manipulate Babcock into putting him out in pressure situations so they can take advantage of him. After all, he's got great advanced stats!Well, you're just incorrect lmao.
