The Wild don't need or want Gardiner...especially for the price he will command. If you want Spurgeon, the ask is Kapanen...and I would even be willing to take on Zaitzev's contract.

Remember that time that Karlsson got traded for that? How does every defenceman that is right handed demand as much as Karlsson?

Karlsson got more than that. Much more than that.

Gardiner and brown aren’t worth much

Oh I agree that the Minnesota trade is bad, it makes no sense for them to make that move. Spurgeon is better than Gardiner and is FA.

But seriously, Muzzin was had for a late 1st and 2 B prospects. At some point you are going to have to realize that defenceman are not worth what you think they are worth. Every time a Leaf fan posts a trade for basically any defenceman its going to cost them Nylander and 2 firsts it seems. Pesce? Nylander, a 1st and Liljegren. McAvoy? Marner and Matthews with a conditional 1st if the Leafs win the cup. I know I am exaggerating here (Although you have mentioned several times that Pesce is worth Nylander + which is just silly.) but every time the Leafs make a trade for a defenceman, you are on here telling people its going to cost triple what they propose. Whether the trade is bad or not.

Your cap space next year is really in the toilet with these moves. You get rid of Zaitsev and Brown (the 2 players everyone thinks will get you cap relief next year) but replace with equivalent cap, including the 19-20 season.

Well, a couple things here. Spurgeon is nasty. Very underrated player and he’s cheap. He’s far better than Muzzin and will cost a lot. Muzzin is a really high end second pair d, spurgeon in my mind is as close to a number one d without being a no brainer elite d man. I don’t think he would cost nylander because he doesn’t have a lot of term, but when you’re going after really good d men on awesome contracts, it isn’t outlandish to think that a solid 60 point winger on a so so contract would go the other way

Age will be the difference. If you are talking about a 27 year old winger who has scored 45-60 points, then yeah perhaps it's worth a guy like Spurgeon but when you are talking about a 22 year old 60 point winger with major upside for a 28 year old defenceman, that is a shortsighted and in my opinion a bad trade. You are sacrificing the future for a player who's best days are likely behind him.
