Two time 30 goal C making $4.5 for three more seasons? Janko's a ways away from that. To put that in perspective, he's a more physical, higher offensive contributor, younger cheaper player than Backlund.
Further, Brodie's likely looking to make 5-6 on his new deal. If the Leafs are about to let Gardner walk, how does Brodie fit into their cap in a year from now? As far as cap projections go, this is not helpful to the Leafs situation. Effectively the deal is one year of Brodie and Jankowski for your 3rd line C, who is a 2 on most teams in the league.
