I don't see the Habs trading him anytime soon, especially at that great contract.

But oh boy.... is he gonna cost alot of money soon.

Yep. He's got the Gary Roberts mindset. Only with a smaller stature.

Getting rid of the guy who was suspended in the playoffs (and may have prevented the team from winning a round) 2 years in a row, a guy who was playing on the 4th line that has a whole 5 goals this year, and letting the biggest whipping boy defenceman since Larry Murphy walk for nothing is the downfall of this team currently?

Give your head a shake man.

the only grit and decent defensive players the leafs had.

I love hearing how Kadri and Gardiner, two of the biggest reasons we couldn't win in the playoffs leaving is such a horrendous mistake.
Gardiner is basically playing as a #5 D in Carolina and the lowest TOI of his career.
And you don't trade your UFAs if you're a playoff team.
And Dubas will not sign Pietrangelo. He doesn't fit with what they are doing.

And no, Nylander doesn't have to go. They'll have 13+ million thsi summer and Lilljegren and Sandin will be on the team next year.
