This is equal value. This is a deal TOR cannot refuse and this is a deal that NYR cannot refuse.

[LeafChief]

And replace Gardiner with who going into next season?

 

[Mikeyg]

leafs can't refuse 26th oa for a top 4 d? kidding?

 

[ottomaddox]

Cap friendly tells me that Jake is a UFA after next season. So yeah. Equal value.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

No

 

[Mandar]

Rangers are in the market for a #4 defenseman? And for a first rounder coming off a stellar playoff?

I have a feeling that this can easily be refused.

 

[Charlie Conway]

On the left, we have Skjei, Staal, Smith, and Gilmour. Spending a first rounder for Gardiner doesn't make sense for us. We can refuse it. Gardiner isn't meeting a need.

 

[Kelly]

Well I think both teams refuse, boy were you wrong.

 

[SteadyFreddie]

This deal doesn't really make sense for either team

 

[TheDoldrums]

You have the Leafs trading their second best defenseman for a late 1st when they're trying to win. Begone.

 

[SML2]

Makes no sense for anyone.

rofl this guy

 

[TorontoTrades]

50 point defenseman doesn't go for a late first.

 

[rent free]

Rangers will decline this easily.

 

[Hockeyholic]

50 point defenseman doesn't go for a late first.

Correct. He goes for about a second rounder at best. He's atcocious in his own end.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Leafs defense was too good last year. we have to downgrade it for sure

Are you serious?
Perhaps you should take a break from the proposals.

You might want to check your math. The Rangers have no need for a left-handed dman who is 1 year away from free agency.

 

[Lays]

Both teams say no
I’d rather have 26th overall than Gardiner and we don’t really need him. Yes we need top 4 D but Gardiner is not the kind of guy we need

 

[north49er]

Correct. He goes for about a second rounder at best. He's atcocious in his own end.

Isn't he the same Jake Gardiner that Leafs' nation wanted tarred and feathered after game 7 against Boston this year? How did his value go from that to a 1st rounder?

 

[hamzarocks]

That's such a bad trade for the leafs. I would rather Gardiner walk as a a f/a rhen trade him for a pick that wont make a impact for 3-4 years on our team.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Isn't he the same Jake Gardiner that Leafs' nation wanted tarred and feathered after game 7 against Boston this year? How did his value go from that to a 1st rounder?

because a player's value doesn't come from a group of fans' emotional reaction to a bad game?

This is equal value. This is a deal TOR cannot refuse and this is a deal that NYR cannot refuse.

No way do I want to see Kyle Dubas make this trade.

 

[DictatorTots427]

NYR has no need for Gardiner, they're rebuilding.
TOR has no need for the 26th pick, they're trying to compete.
Bad proposal.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Unless the Leafs were able to sign John Carlson this would be stupid, you DO NOT create unnecessary holes in your lineup.
