Trebreh Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 sigh this is troubling news.. i'd be going around the league asking what the asking prices is for Gostisbehere, Trouba or even Dobson first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 18W-40C-6W Posted June 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I live in Toronto, and watch the leafs alot. Gardiner is a tire fire in his own end. Excellent point producer but Marky is going to be throwing his stick at him. Hard Pass. I am a fan of Myers, he's RD, big, and pretty mobile. He's not a number one but he will take alot of pressure of Tanev and is better than a bottom pair Dman. The only reason he's bottom pair in the Peg is because Buff and Trouba are ahead of him, arguably two #1 dmen in their own right. He'd solidify our second paring, play him with Hughes, and we've got some depth finally. Neither player solves both our issues, lack of strong dmen and offensive dmen, but Myers is a better DMAN than Gardiner will ever be and is a decent point producer and can jump into the offense.He's only 29, a 6 year deal isn't that bad, and a player like him will be needed for the next run, he'll be a vet and will stabilize as Edler has for many years.

RRypien37 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Myers is interesting. Very weird career. Put up 48 points as a 19/20 year old in his first season. Downhill from there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring a Karlsson signing, Stralman should be the target. Gardiner and Myers have buyout written all over them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIC_CITY Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, Sbriggs said: Neither, I would go via trade to upgrade our defense I sure hope you're right. Myers is a 2nd pairing defenseman on the 2nd half of his career, so likely approaching decline if not already declining. The same can be said about Gardiner and he has some troubling injuries that he's dealing with. I would potentially roll the dice with Karlsson given his ceiling but his injury history is probably the most troubling of all the UFA dmen. In a perfect world, I'd like to see JB draft the best forward available with the 10 OA pick this year and then look at packaging Hutton and our 2020 1st for a true young up and coming top 4 defenseman (or Trouba). Add Juolevi and Woo to the mix and maybe Tryamkin next year, suddenly our D has some depth. Not to mention all the defensemen we currently have down in Utica and in college. Odds are at least 1 of the bunch ends up our next Troy Stetcher or Chris Tanev. Edited June 4, 2019 by VIC_CITY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your thinking, and agree with all, but it would take alot more to get Trouba - and that's assuming he agrees to an extension prior. No way do we give up Hutton and our first for a rental when we're not even a legit playoff contender yet. Apparently he wants to play in the USA, so not sure getting him works, and if he agrees, he would cost more than that, and I'm not sure its worth it.

Shekky Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 EK could potentially be a bad contract signing when it comes time to sign Hughes/EP and with Boeser signing this summer I worry they handcuff the team by signing EK to Term+$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto fans were/have been pooing on Gardiner for years. 18W who beat me to this post provides even more context. He is decent offensively but defensively, he is worse than Sbisa was (and he wasn't even that bad). I swear to god... people are going to REGRET Gardiner, unless they need a scapegoat. He's going to be eaten alive in Vancouver, quote me. 1 hour ago, 18W-40C-6W said: I live in Toronto, and watch the leafs alot. Gardiner is a tire fire in his own end.
