I really think there is no chance of Gardiner being part of the deal. I do think Kadri has a lot of upside and could be a top 6 NHL player.
The long and short of this is, if the expectation is Gardiner +, then you will end up taking the view that Toronto won the deal as they won't give up that much. I am sure a lot of Canuck fans are being optimistic and assuming as much as well - they'll be disappointed.
