Tor: brown Bracco 3rd or 4th
Phi: simmonds

Tor: gardiner 4th 2020
Nyr: Mcquaid

So the leafs add depth and grit and don't give up a lot gardiner is gone anyways the rangers would likely flip him and simmonds comes and try's to come win a cup before going back to philly these deals free up a bit of cap space this offseason

Although I don't see the Leafs moving Gardiner unless he's packaged in something big. You have sorely misjudged his value. The Rangers would be sending McQuaide ++ to get Gardiner.

The trade is not to get value back it more about dumping his salary.

Dumping who's salary? Gardiner is a UFA. That is not who needs to get dumped.

Yes I know that but it’s will be next to impossible to move Zaitzev and I mean There both terrible.

What I'm saying is if you want to move Gardiner, the return will be far greater than what was proposed.

What do you think gardiner is worth? Me personally I think he’s work a second and a medium level prospect but you won’t get that return from the ranger I think Mcquaid and a ahl player would be fine unless you can get more elsewhere.

I think Gardiner is worth at least a 1st+ myself. He’s a top 50 defenseman.

I like the Simmonds deal because you are giving Brown a chance on another team that I really feel he deserves. I don’t know how I feel about sending Bracco along with him though. I kinda figured Bracco would be Brown’s replacement next year. Maybe Philly would take an alternative prospect like Timashov or Marchment?

1994, Gardiner's contract expires after this year, we don't need to dump his salary. He will walk into UFA, but the leafs will use him as there own playoff rental.

Even if the leafs had to dump his contract he is a legit top 4D who only makes 4 million dollars, what your offering isn't even close to his value. Gardiner is probably worth a 1st and a good prospect an minimum. That trade is more misvalued then the Hall for Larsson deal. I don't want to see that posted here ever again.

Regarding the first trade, if the leafs were to trade Bracco they better be getting a top 4 RHD in return.

@leafsgm,
I don’t think team will pay that price for gardiner i could be wrong tho as for the simmonds trade I think philly will either want a 1st or a good prospect I think the writing is on the wall for Bracco I mean first Johnsson jumps him on the depth chart last year and this year Moore did the same I think he’s a good player and all I just think the leafs have enough small wingers yes simmonds is a rental but he’s the player we need or atleast the type of player we need.
