1st Trade: It is basically Duchene and Zadorov for Gardiner, a 1st and a bunch of depth players. Don't see the Avs including Zadorov. So maybe Gardiner and a 1st might get it done.

2nd Trade: Philly does NOT need centers. They have Giroux, Patrick, Flippula, and Couterier. Konecny is good. Lehtora is a cap dump. So you think a 1st and Gardiner get you Sanheim (who is really, really good), Konceny, and Zadorov (from Avs)?

4th Trade: Another lobsided trade in the Leafs favor. Why do the Hurricanes give up a very good young, controllable defender in Hanifin along with a good prospect in exchange for a winger who will be a UFA at the end of the season and a overpaid depth player. Carolina already has good wingers. Skinner, Aho, Teravainen, Lindholm, Williams, Stempniak, and others.

In total all of these trades are biased towards the Leafs and most likely won't come to fruition.

Just keep it simple, Something around Gardiner+1st round pick for Matt Duchene should suffice.

Yeah a one year rental in JVR isn't getting you Noah Hanifin, If you want Hanifin you're looking at one of Nylander/Marner that's the bottom line.

Couldn't agree with you more. Leafs don't have a single player save Nylander/marner who is good enough to be dealt to fill the leafs glaring hole at d.

The initial trade doesn't even go through. Gardiner is arguably the Leafs best Dmen. Gardiner outscored Duchene last year. Gardiner is cheaper than Duchene. So why would the Leafs have to add so much to obtain Duchene?
They don't.

All of Colorado's players had bad season last year. Also Duchene is 26, while Gardiner is turning 28. I wouldn't say that trading Gardiner is a good idea, as you have no replacement for him in an already weak defensive corps. Also leafs don't need Duchene, as they are already stacked at center, and neither does Philly. They have Giroux, Patrick, Couturier and Filipula who can play center as well. Also giving up Konecny and Sanhiem, both whom are marvelous player is too much for Duchene.

You can see the bias in this comment. Duchene turned 26 in January 2017, Gardiner turned 27 in July 2017. Gardiner is 6 months older than Duchene and you're making it seem like there is a 2 year gap.
I don't think Toronto does the first trade as Duchene has underperformed and at this point its a risk in taking him on. He would also have to outperform Kadri for the #3c spot (which he didn't last year) because #1 and #2 centre are reserved for Nylander and Matthews. (Im also not saying Colorado would do this trade, I don't think it helps either team. But many are writing off Bracco who has Top 6 potential at least)
The Philly trade just doesn't fit with Phillys likely new build around Patrick.
If JVR gets signed to a 6x6, the Carolina trade is possible if the leafs add a bit more. As it stands now, Hanifin wouldn't get moved for that cheap.
