That's true. I just think it would've been interesting to see what Gardiner could do away from Zaitsev.

He played several years without him on the Leafs. So picture that but a bit worse, and a bit slower.

Also, Gardiner can't play RD. Muzzin can't play RD, and Rielly isn't as effective at RD, so signing a $4m+ LD to play 3rd pair long term made little to no sense.

So not really much point in continuing to wonder - what if.

IDK man, the stats say Rielly and Gardiner played together for about 240 minutes and the results were fantastic. They controlled almost 60% of the shot attempts and chances.

When they were down in games, and the team was pressing for a goal.

Same as Dermott would replace Ceci on the top pair if Leafs were trailing in the 3rd.

If Rielly was just as good on RD do you really think they'd be trying so hard the last few years (it seems like 20) to find a capable RD?

I'm starting to understand why you can't let the Marner contract go.

You can't let anything go.

I believe it was Gardiner playing on the right side during those situations.

Well maybe I’m wrong, but then again, was a long time ago so know one knows for sure.

Rielly had a few auditions on his off-side over the years. Gardiner never played his off-side.

I know Rielly played the right side during a brief period with Muzzin but that’s about it.

Did you just start watching the Leafs in 2018?

No I’ve been closely following this team since the rebuild started. It’s just, every time I saw Gardiner playing with Rielly, I noticed him from the right side.

Rielly played RD with Hunwick, Marincin and Gardiner. Was strictly LD once he paired up with Zaitsev and then Hainsey and ever since.

Gardiner didnt play RD.

Thanks for letting me know. I guess I was mistaken.

I had to reduce it to fit in both Kadri and Gardiner. It's a hindsight team, nothing serious.

Then don't sign Gardiner. It's simple.

Well then Holl would be the 4D.

I don’t disagree but a lot of people dont feel confident seeing him there.

He's been fine with Muzzin. They've played very well together.

you say prime as if he isn't still in his prime lol

crosby, malkin, kane, toews, getzlaf, marleau were/are all still basically excellent at 32-33.

tavares JUST turned 30, being one of the top 10 goal scorers of the last decade, I'd put him in the category of guys not likely to fall off a cliff, he's a fitness/hockey freak

I'd attribute his down year to being a new dad, a broken hand, and an oblique injury - not age imo
