Would you do this trade:
Leafs give up Jake Gardiner to Dallas for Julius Honka maybe a 2nd/3rd round pick
Sign Calvin De Haan for 3.5 - 4m x 4 years
new dcore:
Rielly - Hainsey
Dermott - Honka
De Haan - Zaitsev
We effectively make our RHD better, shelter Zaitsev. assuming Gardiner has another strong season he would be asking for a big payday (over 6 million the following season), when we also have to sign Marner and Matthews.
I get we'd be giving up a top 40 dman, but given the extra minutes I can see Dermott thriving, with CDH as the new shut down dman alongside Hainsey.
