leafs never do that, value is so far off

so does Carolina bribe Dubas or blackmail him to get him to do that trade?

Leafs decline, I'd rather have Reimer over Jimmy 5 hole Howard.

LOL! Toronto won't trade for a washed up player with a **** contract and another defense men for their top line forward and a 2nd round pick

Both sent Toronto's way earn their contracts

Gardiner is a nice asset and Staal is as good a shutdown C as there is... he makes tasty lemonade results from rotten lemon context on the regular

The issue naturally is how the Leafs afford that (?)

Potential age decline becomes worrisome as well

Meanwhile Hyman is little more than a good sidecar

So the answer to Leafs cap problems is trading a top 6 fwd in his prime for an aging very overpaid 3C, and an aging overpaid 3LD?

Going to have to pass on that one.

Gardiner wanted to be a leaf. The leafs let him go for a reason, he has negative value and the canes have been trying to trade him.
