Rumor: Jake Gardiner to the Habs

The Montreal Canadiens have a need on their left side of their defense and they are interested in bringing in a familiar rival, as the team has their eyes on Jake Gardiner from the Maple Leafs.

As Gardiner's old team figures out their cap issues, Marc Bergevin and the Habs management is lining up their offer to present to Gardiner once they get the chance. According to Elliotte Friedman, if the Maple Leafs can't find room for Gardiner's services, the Habs will be lining up to chat. Gardiner is a smooth skater, who moves the puck well, and averages roughly 40 points per season.

Habs fans, you know Gardiner well, would you be ok with this?
