Instead of bagging on Gards, I’ll simply say they would trade him - this deal or any other deal that would make sense. The fact is they won’t.
I simply don’t like the idea of signing De Haan last year and trading him, then signing Gardiner this year and trading him. It just doesnt seem realistic to me.
Think the Canes hang on, and work with him on his skating this offseason. To me, he’s been adequate on the 3rd pairing but he just simply can’t skate well enough to play the game our system requires.
