Mike Augello: Phaneuf Extension Likely Before New Year's

Gardiner for MDZ. Seems fair value, similar players and issues. A case of a trade to shake things up?

MDZ has had better seasons and I'd be surprised if the Rangers were to trade them 1 for 1.

But yes, it could happen..... I think Colorado should try and get him as they could really use a powerplay quaterback.

What sense does it make to trade Gardiner for Del Zotto? Seems like a lateral move.

They're waiting for Ryan O'Reilly to be trade eligible then going after Alex Edler

No thanks please

Horrible, 7 years is simply too long.
7 million is too much but expected I guess.
Glad we found a long term replacement for McCabe....gonna enjoy watching Dion get danced around by the opposition for the next 7 years.

If the resigning is true, Nonis has to trade for a dman to play top minutes (ya I know easier said than done), to drop Dion to the second spot where he doesn't play more than 22 - 23 mins and there's less pressure for him.
We simply arent going to need all 3 of Franson, Rielly, Gardiner...one will have to go.
If the leafs are serious about going for a stanley cup, they'll need a 1# center and another top dman....they need to do something about that this season.
If Nashville is looking to shed Weber's contract....unload the kitchen sink and get him. I'd prefer M Staal...but his head could be a mess and probably isnt available.
Either way, this D corps needs to be revamped...Gunnar can no longer play on the top dline....on a stanley cup team...he's a 5th dman.
Nonis has to make big changes, if he resigns Dion long term and keeps him as Captain. He will have to get veteran leadership.....resigning Bolland will be a good start.

Lateral move that brings in a player who makes 4+ million.

Would be a stupid deal for the Leafs. Gardiner will bring in more than Del Zotto.

No man...they are waiting for O'Reilly to be trade eligible and then are going after Bozak and a defenseman to be named later.

When did he sign the extension from his 2.55m deal? Your always on top of things JB

But what would it do?
- Fakepartofme

We exchange a struggling D for a struggling D with a higher ceiling. Give Gudbranson a chance to reach his potential. Even if his offensive numbers dont improve, the guy is a beast. Would improve our teams back end from a physical point of view.

Is this like when scooby said we were getting the sun and moon for luongo?

Not quite.

Gudbranson has the tools to be a top pairing shut down D.

Which is why Florida probably won't trade him.
