I think your questions are -. Trading gardiner at the draft, yes that is a good idea. Won’t bring in much but a team wanting first negotiating rights would pay a mid pick.
Signing marner to a one year deal. This is risky for marner if he gets hurt before TDL or has a bad start. I think with a quick handshake deal something like this is plausible. Sign him to a 1 year 7m deal and then re sign him at the TDL. Which yes, is the earliest we can re sign him.
With marner taking a 2 year deal he will be up for renewal July 1 2020.
