as his partners. He’s clearly been the better of the two defenders on his pair for some time, but he has had very respectable forward talent in front of him, which has certainly helped drive offensive performance to some degree.Wins Above Replacement

Not surprisingly, the vast majority of Gardiner’s impact comes from his even-strength performance. His skating abilities and ease at transitioning the puck to some of Toronto’s agile forwards consistently made the Maple Leafs a dangerous threat in the offensive zone, far exceeding any reservations one might have about Gardiner’s play away from the puck in the defensive third.

This, at a minimum, should give teams much more comfort about what a medium or long-term contract for Gardiner might mean. In the context of what he has done over the last three seasons, Gardiner is tightly clustered around some of the better blueliners in the game. There isn’t a single defender on this list of comparables that doesn’t see substantial top-four minutes on their respective teams.
