Gardiner's becoming a free agent and will be looking for a hefty raise (7m+). Habs trade Petry, an all-around better defenseman than Gardiner, Danault, a more defensive center who's better at faceoffs, and Lehkonen, a better 2-way defensive winger, in exchange for 3 offensive pieces from the Leafs: Gardiner, a much-needed LHD, Kadri, a more offensive and gritty center, and Kapanen, the perfect offensive partner for Kotkaniemi. Since Gardiner is becoming a free agent, a 1st is included in the deal. Leafs save on cap money as well.
