Which one of these does Gardiner fall under
- Bieksa#3

4 , I guess.

Agreed. The Oilers might have one in Hallsy, but he has a ways to go before he proves that I think.
- Jeropotato

Exactly right now he's a solid 2 on that list.

4 , I guess.
- Jeropotato

Yeah, I'd say between 4 and 5 but given what the fans think he's worth I guess he's a #1

Girardi deal a steal for Rangers given a few of the contracts given out lately

He has some good potential but 1) needs to improve that still 2) need to actually get better defensively of he's karlsson with not near the offensive ability.

I think he robbed the Rangers shutdown d with not much offense generally don't get that kind of money even if they play on the top line the GM always seem to pay for offense not so much defense.

Okay so basically you're saying either Giradi would get less in free agency (wrong) or that Slats could replace him on the ice for cheaper?

Meh.

What does that Garrison player make?

4.5 or 4.6 I believe. I was really hoping Girardi would be extended. Edler is now one of the very few top 4 guys available.

He is an offensive player.....bad comparison....brooks orpik would be closer

Dion has 125 pts over the past 4 seasons and is +4

Girardi has 91 pts and +23

Pretty comparable when u consider Dions added PP time.

If Girardi is overpaid then the other guy is grossly overpaid

Not that bad a comparison. I would rather have Girardi and we need both types.

Logic?

I thought it made some sense.

He's up there with Kunitz, they have their own catagory.

No I'm saying he was getting overpaid regardless and was going to rob whoever signed him.

So your saying the rangers and the leafs are comparable team?

Overall yeah the last 4 yrs. Leafs better this and last, rangers better the previous 2

I can't stand orpik guy just makes me angry.

Leafs bottom of the league and rangers were near the top in two of those four years and have continually made playoffs in al four leads have made in 1 they are not close Rangers have been much better the last four years. Plus I'm not sure what Phaneuf has to do with my opinion of another player, I don't sign contracts.

I can't stand orpik guy just makes me angry.

Stu posted that some guy on twitter said the other day that as good as the Canada USA game was. Imagine how good it would have been had each team got rid of their worst Pittsburgh Penguin

I don't think it is terrible.

Kesler for Stewart, Prospect (A level) and a conditional first. To make it better make that first for 2015

Lou for Halak.

We need to shed Salary and retool. This trade will give us a goalie for 3-4 seasons till Lack is comfortable as starter. We get a top 6 winger that scores and top prospect plus a 1st rd pick.

We shed 10+ mil and buy out Booth and that is close to 15 mil to sign Halak and a second line center. Don't forget we have Gaunce and Jensen to make the jump next year and Bo + Shink in 2 years. It makes sense.

if the prospect is Jaden Schwartz then i will accept this deal
