Toronto GM Brian Burke tried in vain to acquire him back in February 2011, but his former employers in Anaheim believed that the young defenseman projected to be a better pro than fellow Badger and close friend Jake Gardiner.

The Justin Schultz Sweepstakes

Jake Gardiner Demoted to Toronto Marlies
The Toronto Maple Leafs demoted rookie defenceman Jake Gardiner to the Toronto Marlies on Sunday.

The 2008 former first round pick of Anaheim has 10 assists in 37 games, but has not played the last four games with the return of veteran Mike Komisarek...

Leafs' Gardiner earning high praise
At 21, Jake Gardiner is already averaging more than 20 minutes a night on the Maple Leafs' blue line. Knowing his pedigree, Gardiner's precocious poise should come as no surprise.
Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke was the general manager in Anaheim when the Ducks drafted Jake Gardiner in 2008. So Burke knew the young defenseman would be a quality asset for the Maple Leafs...
