Mt. Kushmore said:I'd do Gardiner for Hamonic. That would be an example of moving Gardiner for a defensive D-man. Or Karl Alzner.
The Isles/Caps wouldn't do that though, so it's a moot point.
I wouldn't do it either, I think Gardiner has a lot more upside than those guys and besides, the problems with the team aren't going to be solved by trading Jake for some stay at home type, in fact if anything it's the forwards that need addressing by comparison, as far as team defence goes at least.
