Sometimes constant offence is good defence. And who will take his place? Andrew "not part of this team" Nielsen or some type of AHL call up? Again Gardiner clearly has issues, but the disparity between him and next best defender on Leafs is quite crazy in regards to the gap. It's even larger if you want to replace him with a random depth scrub or waiver fodder.Gardiner was been atrocious this year. I would much rather have a defensive d-men taking his place. We have enough offense
