He's likely another Rickard Wallin, but maybe he'll surprise. Worse case scenerio he gets burried early and goes home. Best case, cheap option who could help.

James Mirtle @mirtle
@DarrenDreger @NHLPA Won't be eligible off his entry level deal.


Mirtle good for something...No arbitration for Gardiner..


Edit: should have known better.. ..

James Mirtle @mirtle
As @DarrenDreger points out, Gardiner likely to file for arb, too. Doesn't mean there'll be a hearing; vast majority of players sign before.

he was pretty much the same...

got demolished when playing actual hockey both years

I don't even know why we bother watching games anymore.

Or better yet. Make him WANT to play on that line. Then he comes at a cheaper cost.

No way in hell that guy hears those 2 on a line and doesnt think about it

thats a line of just pure hate.

really

That's the thing, he wasn't slow the year before last... he was actually able to land hits, and antagonize people enough to convince them to fight him.

Remember when he took on the Habs top line?

Worth keeping him over colbourne just on the off chance that he did that again.

highlights of all the missed shots.

Ignore the snipes and saves- those are just luck.

From CBA section on arbitration: "The NHL and NHLPA shall flip a coin to determine which party shall
begin the process set forth..."


Real sophisticated shtt...

oh ok i see!

honestly, i cant stand mirtle.

hes a lil think he knows it all wiener, should be covering the canucks thats where hes from, he doesnt even like the leafs.

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
@mirtle. I would be shocked if Gardiner isn't signed, avoiding a hearing. Reimer may be in for a tough go. Flaws are amplified in hearings.

Ya not sure he's a fan of the leafs...

One thing i find ok with him is coverage he's usually fairly reliable for info...Pretty decent to follow on twitter for updates but u have to take him as is..

reimer should just take what he can get and lay into april more often, thats my 2 cents of advice to him
