NHL Rumors: Jake Gardiner, Toronto Maple Leafs, and RFAs Holding Up Moves

Maple Leafs Hot Stove: Elliotte Friedman on Sportsnet 590 said that he doesn’t think that UFA defenseman Jake Gardiner is waiting on the Toronto Maple Leafs. A short-term deal with the Leafs may not help him out as he’d basically be on the 3rd pairing and his power play time may be limited.

“I’ve heard the rumours that he is waiting for a team to make a move. I do think there is some interest in him. I think Arizona has had some interest in him. I do wonder about Buffalo. If they do make the Ristolainen move, I wonder if that is a possibility.
