they kept telling me, I never believed.

Sounds like Gardiner has played his last game on the Leafs.

Everyone else here knew that a while ago.

another wasted asset, what is it with this team?

Yes because they knew he'd get injured...

From the Philly Inquirer:

"They blew a 5-2 lead and fell to the Maple Leafs at ear-splitting Scotiabank Arena."

When was the last time you saw a Toronto regular season game described 5hat way?

I like Friday night games.

I'm 5 hours ahead of you losers - want me to post a game review when the game starts tonight?

Holy (frank).

Do you know how contenders work? They trade for rentals not trade them away.

Get used to that.

They knew he wouldn't be re-signed.
Sound familiar?

No cup for 52 years and fans want a top 5 team trading core players for draft picks right before the playoffs...

To be fair, Leaf fans really don't know how contenders work.

Do you know the goal of the NHL?

It’s to win the Stanley cup.

Not have the best prospect pool in 5 years.

So weaken the team going into the playoffs? Notice no playoff teams trade their UFAs?

Yep, worked so well last year.

I don't think anyone is being serious here.

I just don’t get how they can’t get it through their heads

And why do they have to be traded for draft picks?
Nothing else out there?

Dude. It’s not going to work 100% of the time.

But you know what brings down your chances? Trading “assets” for the playoffs away for draft picks that may or may not be good in 5 years.

It’s simple to understand.

Prospects/picks.

That’s what you get for rentals.

You honestly think they are winning the cup?
Did you think they were winning it last year, yeah for sure they couldn't have used something in return.
And we're the ones that can't get it through our heads.

They are a contender for the cup.

They absolutely can win the cup.

Will they be a contender in 5 years when that prospect is in the ECHL? Or Europe?

You don’t trade away players when you are a top 5 team for futures. It may be the stupidest idea in sports.

I know man. Everything was a mistake in hindsight, hey, wait, I got a new complaint, etc. So it goes.

Letting assets walk away for zippo works 100% of the time though.

I said it before the trade deadline last year, that isn't hindsight.
