@mokumboi IK what your gonna say and ik your gonna hate taking Gardiner back but its an outside the box idea at least

Too much for 1 year of Vlad, canes can find a cheaper way to move Gardiner to a team without cap concerns.

Proably but itll cost around a second imo and tbf the blues can afford him at full

like, WAY too much

Gards will cost a third max to move. Necas is off limits for a rental

Yea a 3rd to a 2nd probably depends on how desperate/amount of suitors to take him the canes have.

As of right now it looks like he is playing opening night. Dead serious too. He’s going to be at camp.

Don't think Carolina trades all those assets for one year of Vova plus taking back a retaining on Gardiner.

Way to much for Vlad, especially with no retention. Also way too much to dump Gardiner, especially with retention.

Leafs moved back 15 spots or so to dump two years of Mrazek at a similar cap hit. Imagine hawks would do some sort of pick swap for a second and third to take Gardiner based on that.
