This also still doesn't work. No team is going to go into the season with less than $1M in cap space, and only 1 healthy roster reserve. Yes there's ways around it, but it's very risky. Hyman and Dermott are also on IR so players are needed to fill their spots which puts Toronto over the cap.
Personally, I wouldn't be shocked to see Gardiner re-sign in Toronto. Especially since Muzzin and Barrie are likely gone to UFA next season. But more roster shuffling than this still needs to be done. Right now I'd say it's closer to a 10% chance Gardiner comes back, if he does it's around $5M aav and probably another forward has to go for cap reasons too. Unlikely it happens
