Come to think of it, this might be first time this year that I've read someone be absurdly negative about Gardiner. People really have come around to the idea that he might not be an AHL-caliber player after all.

Gardiner is worth a lot more than two capdumps and a B prospect, simple as that. Whether you're a fan of him or not, the valuation is way off.

Tom Nilsson belongs to nobody in the NHL. The Isles and him mutually terminated his contract.

Exactly, NO THANKS!
I don't think I'd do the Howard deal either, unless, Detroit added a 1st rounder instead of the 3rd pick to the deal.

The Gardiner trade
brutal, this isn't the Toronto Maple Leafs charitable foundation, the Leafs would have no interest in helping Chicago's cap situation w/o something in return, the Leafs already have a Ryan Hartman type several times over in the system, so he wouldn't be the guy
so Chicago can keep Hartman, they can keep Scuderi they can keep the 2nd
and hand over Ville Pokka and Nick Schmaltz, if they want the Leafs to take on the Bickell anchor

Never do drugs and trade propose kids.To Toronto: Bryan Bickell, Rob Scuderi and Ryan Hartman
To Chicago: Jake Gardiner and Brad Boyes
What's in this for the leafs exactly? Bickell is done.
Detroit trade: Ryan Sproul is a 3rd year pro who is subject to waivers next season. He has a very limited value as a prospect. Taking on a mediocre goalie who makes more for a longer term for another mediocre goalie for a 3rd round pick makes little sense. Poor value for the Leafs and a poor understanding of how player values in the NHL work.
Chicago trade: Hartman is a B prospect. He has a diminishing value. A Chicago 2nd round pick is a very late 2nd round pick. None of that is worth Gardiner alone not to mention taking on two contracts that can't really play in the NHL any longer. I wouldn't trade Gardiner for Chicago's 1st and Hartman let alone what was suggested.

LOL - caught that.
1 of the 3 proposals were OK (the PAP one), but we could be a little more courteous, no? Plenty of lopsided proposals floating around, even from this fan base.

That's why I just read the thread and didn't click... I only click if it sounds like a good article.
The comments here are hilarious yet mean, yet warranted. Sorry OP, but you gotta watch more hockey.

The PAP trade is realistic, but i would prefer the Leafs to NOT trade him to the Devils.
The Devils are currently fighting with the Penguins for the last wildcard spot and i dont want to give the Devils any help, because i want that penguins first rather than the Pens 2nd and the Devils 2nd

I never clicked the link but from what I gather, these are awful trades. That Chicago one has to be the most non-sensical trade proposal I've ever seen. Why would the Leafs do that?
Can we kill this thread with fire? Why hasn't it been moved in the trade proposal thread?

I bet Lou has an eye on that situation. I suspect he wants the first as much as we do.

This might have been the worst article I've ever read. Never clicking a link from that website ever again, I wish I could take my click back.
The Gardiner trade was just.... I don't even have words.
The second one was bad too. Why would you want to "get out of" Gardiners contract, but acquire Howard's? Logic isn't your thing, is it?
The last one, I expect Lou to pull out more for PAP.

Howard? This year ranking amount 85 goalies,,,,62nd in GAA, 63rd Save%.
Howard is not a # 1 goalie and at 5.3m a year, Detroit will have to keep him unless they receive bad money back.
