Thread: curious
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Davisoc</b></div><div>The idea of Gardiner for another 8 years makes me sick. The steps he has lost already, I cant see the value making sense. As for Petro, this is sacrificing out future for a win now. Those rarely work, I dont like it and I dont think its smart. Washington Forsberg deal comes to mind.</div></div>

i dont know why people hate on gardiner so much, he hasnt been bad this year whatsoever, also you are comparing martin erat who has a career high of 58 points which is good but not close to elite to petro who put up 54 points as a dman. johnson and kappy are fast and good but the big question is if it is because of the situation they are in. i like them both but you you have to give good assets for good assets back, we may be able to swing another prospect but it all depends on fit.

Thread: Proposed trade between Philly and TO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tomkinoo</b></div><div>I don't like this trade but I also don't agree with you ^. Ghost is signed at a reasonable price for 3 more years making him way more valuable then Gardiner, and I think Simmonds would definitely reconsider signing in Toronto, a contender for the next five years, and his home city...</div></div>

I think Ghost is a slight upgrade on gards, he put up 65 points last year, i think hes a little better defensively, much better contract and is younger. i think simmonds plying with matthews and kappi would be pretty deadly, i picture him as a better hyman and kappi a slightly worse nylander. i know its not the super sought after stay at home RHD but i think its better than having nylander sit out and lose a season.

Thread: kadris new line
Not completely against the Braun trade, don't know if that would cut it, i think Toronto would benefit from it and i get what you are mentioning as if SJ wants any chance at resigning Erik Karlsson, they will need the space. i don't think they make the trade unless they are really looking bad at the deadline because i think they would want to keep him for depth defense, unless they pick someone else up to fill in the gap for less money. could potentially see it in the off season. Maybe bracco and 2nd,3rd,6th would entice them a little more but i wouldn't go much further than that. also if Nash wants to win a cup he wont care about making 6 mill a year buddy is loaded enough already and if the leafs wanted to make a couple trades to bring in a couple rentals that cap space would be nice, i could see him sign for like 3 mill or less for a chance to win. I think its the right direction maybe wrong team to fish defense off of. Also i don't think you are getting rid of Gardiner if you are making a run at a cup, unless he really shits the bed.

Thread: TAVARES'S GREATEST SEASONS ARE ABOUT TO START
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>I have a legitimate question. What makes you think this team, with an identical D core to last season's team, is going to go any farther because they added more offense? The same D core that gave up 5+ goals vs Boston in round 1 THREE times. In the playoffs. That's pretty alarming.</div></div>

The thing is that Tavares is a good center in his own zone which will help, Zaitsev had a bad year last year, but don't blame him coming back from mono and losing weight doesn't make it easy, i expect him to bounce back. Gardiner has potential, take away game 7 and he wasn't terrible if he plays with zaitsev and zaitsevs back to full potential could be a good pairing, reilly is real solid on the blue line and dermott should only improve if he stays up with the big club. hainsey is pk d man who will get like 8-10 mins a night and oz and carrick might be able to help take some pk time away from zaitsev to keep him a little more fresh. We will see what happens i know i am excited to see them play they have a long season to figure it out and find something that works.
