Honestly I think if you take Gardiner away from Zaitsev, you would see him play better. When Zaitsev played good he was with Reilly because he wasn't second guessing himself. Guy probably has anxiety every time he hops over the boards with Gardiner.
For someone who people keep saying is a great skater, Gardiner can't skate and have the puck at the same time. Watch the games when he has the puck he stops skating and tries to make a 2 line pass and you can see the smoke coming out the side of his helmet. His brain can't handle two things at once.
