Description
The Faulk trade helps solidify the right side on defense and by getting rid of Gardiner, our defense improves immensely in our own end.
Faulk can also be resigned as Marleau's contract ends so they can use that money for him.
It's a little tight but it looks like they can keep their big 3 along with Tavares and also solidify their Defense until their young prospects are ready.

Okay 2 things here

1) Jake Gardiner is the left handed version of Faulk so the trade would be 1v1 adding Leivo and a 1st is a gross overpayment. Also Carolina has a stacked left side of their defence. They don't need Gardiner.

2) They just signed Tavares, why not wait to see how the lineup plays as is before wasting assets on fixing perceived flaws.

Haven't you shown by this roster that is really cap "unworkable". You're three player short . What is fascination that many Leafs fans with RHD. Just because they should right handed doesn't make them good players.
Highly unlikely Gardiner signs a UFA contract or even an extension without a NTC.
Agree with Logan. Let's see how Carrick, Ozhinoko, Holl work out this season on the right side before overpaying for another 3rd pairing Dman at least defensively.

I see a lot of Leafs AGM's want to bring Faulk in. I don't know why. He's expensive and has other shortcomings, too. If I were to covet an RD from Carolina, it would be Roland McKeown, not Justin Faulk.

You Leafs cognoscenti have to explain to me why Jake Gardiner is so valuable. (I don't see many Toronto games out here in L.A.) I've been assuming he'll come off the books in 2019 and leave more room to re-sign Matthews, Marner and Kapanen.

Faulk is an upgrade from Gardiner, hands down and he plays the right side which the Leafs are clearly weak on as of now. Sure there's help coming in a couple years but the time to win is now and they can afford to give up a very late 1st round pick in my opinion.
Perceived flaws??? I'm pretty sure Jake and that right side of the defense is an obvious flaw and has been for years.

Faulk would not be my first choice but he's on the trade block so he wouldn't cost as much as others. He had a terrible year for his standards but on a good team, he should bounce right back. The player I wanted to trade for was Trouba but the way this armchair GM works, it wouldn't let me do it because he's an RFA this year. I think he should be the real target but will cost much more than Faulk.
