elvis15 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I'd question this as even plausible, but who knows without the exact quote. If it was "someone like Gardiner" then maybe but I don't think he'd be a prime target based on what we already have. He's certainly not a buy low reclamation project and we don't need veteran leadership (not that Gardiner brings much in this respect anyway). If they think they can't get Edler - and I can't think of a reason why we wouldn't, he wants to be here and isn't likely to be asking for so much that we can't afford it after negotiation - or have some other players leaving where we'd need the help, then maybe.

Remember when Schenn was the slowest skater in the league and was garbage? Turns out he isn’t that slow and is a serviceable 3rd pairing/depth guy who brings physicality. We have to look at all options for our D so it looks nothing like what it did for the last few seasons. Meh. If we have to use Schenn as a 3rd pairing or better D for a full season we'll see his deficiencies magnified. He is slow but thankfully that's mitigated by Hughes drawing a lot of attention and being very effective with his skating and mobility. Toronto moved on from him and then Philly, and then he couldn't find a spot with the Kings, Coyotes or Ducks, so it wasn't just a bad situation or needing a fresh start. He definitely has worked on picking up his physical game as a way to bring value in the NHL though. Hopefully he's not the default 5th/6th defenceman and it breeds a little competition. But back to Gardiner, as a UFA and considering what he'd be asking for, he's very unlikely to be a good signing considering who we already have and his strengths and deficiencies.

I think if JB can sign either Karlsson or Panarin, his chance of getting an extension will go up a lot. JB has not hit any homerun yet when it comes to UFA signings. depends how you score things vanek signing was good he played really well for us and his value was enhanced by trading him at the tdl for motte, who is a player and a free asset so i guess we have to call this one a solid triple ?

That’s Joulevi right now with the difference being he can still develop into more of a well rounded D as he’s still a prospect. Gardiner is what he is at his age.

Who improved. But is still in that grey area where there is no big trade return. Maybe forms valuable depth. If we get to the point Hutton is our 4th LHD, its actually a pretty good space! True. But I'm pretty sure Hutton will not be ok with sitting out games. Either he plays in the top 6 or the Canucks part ways with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you watch him play or is this based on the goat game from last years playoffs. Strange thing Gardiner is out for twenty games and the leafs can’t buy a win at the end of the year. He’s TOs Edler, the fans want and expect more of him but he just never got there, doesn’t make him a bad defenseman. And they surely missed him this Spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Oh god.... cue the made up stories of potential trades and signings and blah blah blah (especially players to do with Toronto).
