This could be the last year we see Jake Gardiner in a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater.
With his contract expiring next summer Gardiner will be looking to impress not just the Toronto Maple Leafs but the rest of the NHL. At 28, this could be the last time Gardiner has the chance to earn a deal on par with Dion Phaneuf ($7 million) or Ryan Suter ($7,538,462). If Gardiner were to hit 50 points for the second straight season, he could easily get a contract like that.
