TBH, I wouldn't take it either. Hedman is a generational talent. Tampa is lucky AF to have him, especially at his cap-hit.

Oh he might currently be the best defenseman in the NHL if you ask me.

Him or Jones probably.

What about Jake 'Game 7' Gardiner?

I must say, if the Leafs make it to a game 7, i'll miss the excitement of waiting on how he'll screw it up this time.

there were so many Leafs fans in here that said Gardiner was a very good d-man.
(of course they suddenly changed their views when he signed with Carolina).

Honestly - only reason why Gardiner looked ok from time to time was because Babcock exactly knew how to play him to his strengths.

No, Marner's is easily the worst.

No way..

Mitch does it all. He’s not a defensively liability.

For whatever reason, Leafs fans seem to omit that side of the game. But if Willy had that element, I’m sure we’d never hear the end of it.

Gardiner was way overused here. Carolina had it right.

Tampa got a steal on Hedman. At this point in their respective careers, Hedman is better than Karlsson and worth more money.

WAYYYY better. He always was better.

No. Karlsson's 2017 playoffs is the stuff of legends. hedman has never been close to that good. Hedman is better now due to injuies but Karlsson's peak is far better.
