The Gardiner deal is a hard NO.
Stopped reading there
To Toronto: Bryan Bickell, Rob Scuderi and Ryan Hartman
To Chicago: Jake Gardiner and Brad Boyes
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
The first two are terrible for Toronto.
The third one is realistic
For those interested we at Prospects Hockey took a stab at Three Trades the Leafs Should Make prior to Monday's NHL Trade Deadline.

I do respect that everybody has an opinion on player value and what they'd like to see the Leafs obtain in future trades, these are simply our thoughts. If you have an questions or comments don't hesitate to ask as I'm open to explain the thoughts provided. Enjoy !
Or... we don't do the first two trades... and we get more than just a second for PAP.
Franson and Santorelli got us a 1st and Leipsic last year.
Serious question, not meant to offend anyone.
How does one become an "Hf Partner" giving them the ability to post this nonsense?
Do they just donate to the cause, or is there something deeper?
I apologize those who mentioned Nilsson was a part of the Grabner deal, you are correct. I didn't realize he was a part of the deal and switched Nilsson for a late round draft pick.
As for the Bickell/Scuderi/Hartman for Gardiner and Boyes. Would you be as opposed to it if Chicago included a 3rd round pick in 2016 or a 2017 second round pick ? I know some Leaf fans are fond of Gardiner and value him higher than others. I will say I do like Gardiner's offensive upside but at the same time calling him the Leafs best defensemen.. is that really saying much based on who's there.
I realized I'd take heat for the write up, and its warranted as the Nilsson error was amateur.

Wow is that Gardiner trade awful. Did you really think about that one?
"Leafs get out of Jake Gardiner's contract, which new management isn't fond of."
????
He's the Leafs 2nd best defensemen and he's signed for 3 more years at just 4M. For less then Tyler Bozak the Leafs have a 2nd pairing defender who keeps improving.
