I don't think he will either. I'm just curious about the fan perspective that pops up here and there.

His ELC is over this year, I'm pretty sure.

When I woke up this morning, my first thought was they should trade Gardiner, before his trade value goes down. He is gonna be 24 years old at the end of this season. I think defense side of his game as good as it now, no upside there.
We have Riley, Percy, Franson, he will be the same as Colborne, no place for him.
If they trade Colborne last year they would get at least a second round. We all know what we got for him....
I like the guy, he is awesome, but he got to go, before its too late!

Gardiner is a really skilled player. you dont trade those guys away easily

Markov looked worse, and he's a seasoned vet

Will do.

Ilya Bryzgalov inconsistent (was a young backup at the time losing out to JS)
Jean-Sebastien Giguere inconsistent (56 GP 2.26 .918 18 1.97 .922 INCONSISTENT!!!!!)

Richard Jackman below average (Was their 7th defender)
Sean O'Donnell old so below average (Old and was a big part of their bottom-pair)
Francois Beauchemin average at the time (At the time played as many minutes as Nieds and Pronger)
Chris Pronger superstar (Got this one right, might have been the 2nd best defender in the game aside from Lidstrom)
Scott Niedermayer allstar but old so no longer superstar (LOLOLOL the Conn Smythe Winner is not a superstar? A guy with the most assists by defensemen is not a Superstar...you're drunk)
Joe DiPenta terrible (True)
Kent Huskins terrible (At the time he was a mediocre bottom-pairer)



Teemu Selanne very old (Had 94 points and 48 goals four from the Rocket)
Corey Perry allstar (Rookie not an all-star, showed it in the playoffs though)
Chris Kunitz maybe above average (60 points...average...)
Ryan Getzlaf allstar (Again same as Perry, though he became a monster in the playoffs)
George Parros crap (Fighter)
Dustin Penner crap (29 goals...crap?)
Drew Miller who? (Sure)
Andy McDonald average (First line centre had 78 points)
Todd Marchant average (He does piss us all off)
Brad May average (Again at the time he was actually a good penalty killer and fighter)
Samuel Pahlsson average (Amazing penalty killer)
Travis Moen average (Again he was part of that defensive specialist core that Burke jerked off to)
Ryan Shannon who? (Agreed)
Rob Niedermayer average (See above)
Shawn Thornton average (Solid defensive forward that could fight)

i have such a good joke

and i cant use it because it would fly in the face of my own warning from earlier

That's what we said about Colborne, we don't trade away 6.6, young, centre man easily! Exactly this is what I'm saying. He is skilled, but not reliable on the own end.
Get a good return for him now and not a 3-4th rounder next year! He won't play more than 40-50 games this season for Carlyle! Mark my word!

I bet it wasn't easy trading Colborne.

Nope, we weren't saying that about Colborne. I didn't like his Giraffe on skates approach to hockey from day one.

I counter your arguments and say that, with proper ice time and development in Calgary, that Colborne turns into a strong 3rd line center. Could take another year/two, but I think he'll do well in Calgary. But then again, Ive got to.....right?
