Friedman on his 31 thoughts podcast says that a few weeks ago, it was assumed that Gardiner and Toronto were for sure parting ways because of a lack of cap space. However, with the Zaitsev and Marleau stuff coming to light, depending on what happens with them, and say someone like Brown, the Leafs could have a good amount of cap space.
He says Toronto wants to keep him, if possible, and Gardiner wants to stay, but it comes down to when/if Marleau, Zaitsev and the like get moved.
Says Montreal and Chicago are the two likely teams to have strong interest in him.
Too many "ifs" to make this happen. Is Friedman refusing to acknowledge that Jake Muzzin, Morgan Rielly, and Travis Dermott are leafs ?
