Gardiner anyone??? #freeJake
This made me lol.
I think he'd cost to much.
I'd love to get Simmonds though :0 Guys a beast on an underperforming team. Knowing Philly they'd have no problem trading any one but my guess is they'd want Cowen or Methot.
IMO there's almost no chance the Leafs trade Gardiner to us.
If we could somehow convince them to take one of Gryba, Borowiecki or Wierchioch in a package for Simmonds instead of one of our big 3 (currently Cowen, Methot, Karlsson) I would try to pull the trigger on that deal.
The only way I can see this happening is if we're adding a 1st to that package. In a deep draft class, do we really want to do that?

I would absolutely do a 1st and Wierchioch/Gryba/Borowiecki for Simmonds. The chances of our 1st this year becoming the player that Simmonds is are slim.
Corey Perry?
Ben Eager on Waivers, too bad Murray didn't wait one day (although I know nothing of Kassian).

Yeah that would be sweet but I doubt they'd want a package
Id offer something around Ceci if gardiner was available though.
I really like Ceci but gardiner is more proven.

Rostislav Olesz on waivers today.
Any untapped potential there, or is he just a flat out bust.
I imagine he's going to pass waivers at >$3M until 2014.
Exactly why I've been the biggest advocate in regards to doing anything to get Perry on this team.
He is exactly what we need, the missing piece of a Stanley Cup contending team. Well, the primary piece, the others are much easier to acquire and possible during deadline day.
It doesn't matter. Murray could have gotten Kassian off waivers too. I believe that the reason there was a trade was the possibility of sending Kassian down unless I'm not understanding the rules correctly.
I like Ceci's upside more than Gardiner's. Plus Ceci is homegrown and has always been a Sens fan. I like having guys like that in the organization.
Pierre Maguire was asked if he believes the Sens will make a play for Perry and his answer was yes. I believe he mentioned part of the group that scouted Perry before he was drafted were at the Ducks game recently scouting. I was brushing my teeth at this point so I cannot confirm that is exactly what PM said.
I know what your saying I really like Ceci but this kid might not ever even be as good as Gryba or could be a really good puck moving D with some offense playing mid pairing for the nect 15 years or anywhere in between. I mean we know Gardiner can play in the NHL abd he has pretty good skills too that's we're the value is for me.
But I think Ceci is a right D and Gardiner I think is a left.
Would never happen though.
