Leafs panthers deal

Leafs- Matthews, Gardiner
Florida- Barkov and Ekblad

Leafs get a top end two way center who I think is a more consistent as far as staying healthy and a defenceman struggling to live up to his potential who could use a change in scenery. Leafs get cap stability and 2 very good players. Florida is having another disappointing season and need to change something up so they trade for a elite/franchise centerman who if he can stay healthy is a game changer and they get a offensive dman who over the last few seasons has put up good numbers and they can afford to resign them both.

Matthews>Barkov
Ekblad>gardiner

Maybe some 2 or 3 round picks to be added but is it close as far as value?

The difference between Mattews and Barkov is smaller then the difference between Eklbad and Gardiner. Plus Ekblad himself s not that far off in terms of value to Eklbad. Then putting Barkov on top and only getting a mediocre UFA is a joke. And for those reasons Florida is out.

I think Florida adds a piece like Hubberdeau.

Matthews has more value than Barkov, though in my opinion not by much, however Ekblad to me is leagues above Gardiner so for me the Leafs would have to add something else of substantial value.

Barkov and Matthews aren’t very far off. Matthews could be like Malkin while Barkov like Bergeron. You probably take Malkin over Bergeron yes, but that difference isn’t warranting a huge downgrade of Ekblad to Gardiner.

No from Cats.

Numbers suggest Gardiner is better atleast offensively then Eklblad.

Matthews is better than barkov, Ekblad better all round than Gardiner and being RHD makes him far more valuable to leafs. However barkovs contract eats up a ton of the difference between him and Matthews. We can all assume Matthews will be $11 mill range and I believe barkov is around $6 mill (just under i think) long term. That’s a huge advantage. I say no because I don’t want to trade Matthews, not because the value isn’t there. Barkov and Ekblad combined will make in the $13 mill range. That’s huge value.
