So Leafs could have kept Gardiner had they not had $4.5M going to Ceci?

Gardiner to Ceci is a pretty big downgrade, even with all of Gardiner's faults.

It's not just pretty big... it's a huge downgrade
Now I have to sit here and hope Sandin and Liljegren are ready or otherwise we screweeeeddddddd
How the hell does he go to free agency and get a contract with the same cap hit as the contract he signed in 2014.
I heard teams put him through the Horton-Alzner test. It's where they place a pickle jar on the floor and ask him to bend over and open it.I'm wondering if his physicals were sketchy, I can't make sense of how he couldn't get a better offer than this, other than his medical history being a major roadblock.
Hey guys, how's the view from behind the players' bench?
I have extra seats on top of my usual for a game later next season. The extras are 5 rows behind the players bench and have pretty good resale value.
In my experience it isnt the best view BUT it is worth it to hear the players chirp all game.
The view there isnt worth the price you pay at allIn my experience it isnt the best view BUT it is worth it to hear the players chirp all game.
I sat in the 2nd row once, not in Toronto
Was in the corner but still awesome seeing things that close around the net
I think it's cool to do once or take a friend that's never been that close.
We finally got rid of Zacha, yay! He was never going to live up to his first round draft pick potential. I guess this beats sitting out and hoping for a deal.Couple of reports in the news today
- Zacha to Avangard (tentative deal)
- Werenski re-signed ($5m x 3)
If you are in or near a market with reasonable ticket prices lol....
Bergevin saying there's 6-7 rookies that could make the jump in training camp, this should be one of the more interesting training camps in a long time. Glad he's not bringing in any old guys on PTOs.
2. It is impossible to write or talk about Marner without offending someone, so here is my attempt at a bias-free take: It's tense and personal. My belief is Toronto is willing to go to an $11-million AAV, but only if he signs for seven years. I'd heard both sides might agree to two years — then let arbitration sort it out — but a few sources threw cold water on that. I mentioned during a radio hit last week the rumour that Marner's representatives pitched a three-year contract with a structure similar to the Meier/Werenski setup, with the third season as high as $15 million. However, I'm told that was several months ago and is no longer relevant, although both sides have continued to explore that kind of an option. I don't sense things are anywhere close.
"I'll just be honest with you," Mitch's dad said. "It drives our family nuts when we hear you guys all talk about who should be the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Mitch never hardly gets any consideration. It's because he's like this happy-go-lucky little kid. But he championed the London Knights to the Memorial Cup with that same happy (personality). I watched a guy like Doug Gilmour who had a lot of joy on and off the ice but was a real competitor.
"And that's Mitch.
