WPG: Myers
TOR: Gardiner

Winnipeg gets an offensive dman to play with Buff. Toronto gets a top pairing (on Toronto, second pairing elsewhere) to quarterback their PP and play with Rielly

Ya. This will be entertaining.

Nope. Winnipeg can't trade Myers until they know for sure what is happening with Trouba. Both guys are rentals and Gardiner isn't an upgrade for Winnipeg, so there is zero reason for the Jets to do it.

Not sure how Gardiner isn’t an upgrade he out produced Myers in just about every statistical Catagory you can imagine.

I think the Leafs should keep Gardner as he is such an offensive stud. Myers gives the Jets a strong right side defense and he can be signed for a lot less than Gardner. Myers will only be moved if Trouba signs a long term deal after Jan 1st, or Poolman continues to develop and pushes him out of the line-up. Toronto should sign Gardner long term, for $7 mil per year, to solidify your strong defense.

This trade helps Toronto more as it gives them an RHD that Babcock desperately wants to avoid playing Hainsey above where he should be on the bottom pairing.

Gardiner's offence likely won't transfer to Winnipeg as he won't get the same opportunities here. So, I'd rather just keep the guy we know than get a new one we don't since he isn't an upgrade.

Overall, it is just a trade for the sake of making a trade. Therefore, not worth doing.

Gardiner > Myers for a few reasons
Gets more points
Lower contract
Same +/ - as Myers
Does really well on PP
Still did well while playing with Zaitsev who wasn’t very good last year

The only think you could argue with Myers is that RHD aren’t as common as LHD and he is bigger
I think Winnipeg will end up trading one of Myers or Trouba, they simply can’t afford to keep both so come January, they better have either decided to lock up Trouba and trade Myers, or the opposite, unless they trade away a star forward, they simply cannot keep both.

In all likelihood, Trouba will end up being signed long term and Myers will end up walking as a UFA. I highly doubt either gets traded.

Jets should trade a RH defenseman to address their pathetic center depth. Career 40 point man leading the 2nd unit again? Or try and lock up Trouba because Myers will walk and the cheeseburger eating machine is slowing down.

Leafs 17
This is funny coming from a Leafs fan which team has no defense.

Yeah, big talk from a Laffs fans, when the Jets have accomplished more in less than 10 years than the Laffs have in over 50. Lol.
