One thing needs to happen for the Leafs to succeed in the playoffs replace their defence
Before I begin let me state that both players must agree to contract extensions before trade is agreed upon
TML - Gardiner, 2nd rd pick 2016
NYR - Mark Stall
Stall signs 6 y x 6M extension

TML - Kadri, Fransen, mid level prospect
CHI - Seabrook
Seabrook signs 6y x 6.5M extension
Before everyone says I am crazy please remember that both players are ufa and have shown they have little interest in staying with their teams

You don't give up your future for the now, the Leafs have done this in the past and it has always burned them, Kadri, Gardiner and a future Pick traded for 2 UFA'S is a backward move.

Marc stall staying in NY and he will not sign in Toronto if anything he'll go to carolina

3.) 15 Dec 2014
Seabrook is not a ufa until after next season

I think trading Kadri, Gardiner and mid level prospect like Ashton for Seabrook is a perfect trade for leafs.

Jvr, Bozak, Kessel
Lupul, Holland, Clarkson
Komarov, Santorelli, Winnik
Booth, Smith, Panik
Spare: Kozun

Phanuef, Seabrook
Rielly, Franson
Polak, Robidas
Spare: Holzer

Bernier
Reimer

ONE thing? lol

Im all for trading gardiner but I think trading kadri is a mistake.

Hes developing into a good 2nd line center .

Best center the leafs have had since Sundin.

Your logic is not offside, but Toronto has to add more in both trades (especially the Chicago trade). Both teams are in a playoff spot and have aspirations of a deep run, so I doubt they trade 1 of their respective top d-men right now.

If you want contending teams to give up assets, you HAVE to overpay.
