Leafs could possibly have addressed top 6 forward need as Lupul will be given a tonne of ice and every opportunity to return to junior star form. Gardiner is regarded as a solid prospect and the pick doesn't do any harm either. Leafs give Anaheim back a guy that although hasn't played poorly, certainly didn't live up to the standards he set for himself while with the Ducks previously and plays a position that should be able to be filled relatively easily. Anaheim needed to add some grit on the back-end that wouldn't hurt them offensively and from the surface looks like they may have done that. This is a trade that appears to help both teams, but unless Beauchemin goes on to win the Norris or something crazy like that, the Leafs win this trade.
