Proposal: COL-TOR Beauchemin and a 3rd in 2018 for Gardiner and Lupul

[ForSpareParts*]

Gardiner is the price TOR has to pay get rid of an often injured overpaid Lupul. COL gets a good skater at a nice price while TOR gets a solid LH 3D for 2 seasons at 4.5 million. I added the 3rd because the Gardiner die hards would be angry to see Gardiner go for less.

Not even close to matching our needs or what we think the value is. We're not desperate to dump Lupul, and if we were there would be other ways. We have no one that's like Gardiner (someone that can carry any player put on his pairing), he's perfect for our 2nd pair behind the future Rielly-xxx pairing.

 

[Bone Breaker]

no, thanks. no need for neither player and we are receiving more money back. that`s a problem for a team who is tight against the cap.

There's no way Toronto says yes to this. I love Beauch, but he's not getting any younger, and Lupul to Beauchemin is a really just lateral move in terms of cap hit.

Besides, I think Beauchemin has a NMC so this trade is unlikely to happen before Lamoriello even picks up the phone.

Lupul and Gardiner 9.3 million -> COL
Beauchemin 4.5 milion -> TOR

Avs don't have the cap space #BudgetTeam #BudgetistheCap

 

[Leafs87]

This is literally the move we make to aquire lupul and gardiner. Only that beuch was much younger

 

[Kelly]

Yeah, Leafs say **** no.

 

[TimeZone]

Gardiner as in...Jake Gardiner? Is this some sort of sick joke?

 

[93LEAFS]

Well just either IR Lupul for the year or play him and buy him out next year when we have an abundance of cap room. No need to trade one of our two good young defenders.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Uhm. No. Ew. We'll keep our human bag of glass if you think it'll cost gardiner to be rid of him. Lol at this proposal

 

[belair]

Why would Toronto be clearing cap space?

This proposal doesn't make any sense.

Why would Toronto be clearing cap space?

This proposal doesn't make any sense.

Why would Colorado be taking any cap back when they have none?

Poorly thought out proposal. Addresses no needs.

 

[Avs44]

The Avs with their 500k or something in cap space will just add a cool 4.5 million...and the Leafs, a rebuilding team, will trade a good youngish defender for an aging defender with only a couple of years left, just to clear cap they can comfortably keep.

 

[Tecumseh]

Did you propose this just to see what the present day reaction would be for another Beauchemin-Gardiner trade?

 

[Halla]

this is horribad.

why do the leafs need the cap space so desperately for again?
JVR/Nylanders new deals in 2 years? Matthews/Marners new deals in 3 years? Lupul will be gone by then.

if gardiner is dealt to the avs, barrie would need to be the return

 

[falconski]

Weird, the ridiculous one sided proposals are going the other way this time


Here's a rant about how Gardiner is nothing but a third line center

 

[Morbo]

Gardiner is the price TOR has to pay get rid of an often injured overpaid Lupul.

No, he really isn't.

 

[bobg1]

No thanks since TML already traded FB when BB was GM

Feels like there's a large part (the entire rationale) missing to this post.

I too like to throw away useful players about to enter their primes to move a temporary cap problem and acquire an old vet who has a similar cap hit to the young player you just traded away.
