need a RHD

you have to get rid of one more player

how about gardiner for pysyk straight up? Let's get one thing straight, the leafs are definitely not getting a first round pick for gardiner, let alone a first round pick, some other stuff, and a good player that's apparently capable of playing on their top pair. get real.

not to be that guy but why couldn't they get a 1st rounder for him? look at some of the most recent trades for dmen that put up solid offensive numbers? look at shattenkirk the year he got traded to the caps. he finished the year with 56 points and his value was 1st rounder conditional 2nd rounder and a solid b level prospect......gardner had 52 points last season thats very similar to shattenkirk why is this so unthinkable? you could argue hes tml best dman stats wise

Anddddd then shattenkirk basically got benched in the playoffs. So that’s a good example. If the leafs find a gm that’s a complete moron, they might get that price. It’s more likely that if they want to move him, teams check out some tape from the Boston series and offer up lower level picks if anything

thats just the price of dmen that can score 50+ points..... he didn't get benched he played with Orpik.....which is worse
