Safe selection by Dallas in Round 3
CDallas Stars  Juniors
June 29, 2023
Gardiner was selected 79th overall by the Stars in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Many NHL teams these days go for upside with their draft picks, but eventually you have to fill fourth-line spots as well, which is where Gardiner comes in. His long-term ceiling is amongst the lowest of any player drafted through the first three rounds this year. He managed just 19 goals and 39 points in 68 games for OHL Ottawa this past season. That said, Gardiner prides himself on his play both defensively and away from the puck and he's very good at both. He's the type of player a coach would send over the boards to protect a lead with 30 seconds left. It's not a sexy profile and there's no guarantee Gardiner makes it, but it's at least clear what type of player he would be at the NHL level.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Moved in OHL trade
CDallas Stars  Juniors
August 26, 2024
Gardiner was sent to OHL Barrie from OHL Ottawa in exchange for four picks Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gardiner -- who was selected by the Stars in the third round of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft -- put up 16 goals and 33 helpers in 67 games for the 67's last year. The 19-year-old center shouldn't be expected to make Dallas' roster coming out of training camp, so fantasy managers in redraft formats need not monitor his status. Still, Gardiner should be on the radar for dynasty formats, as he figures to be just a year or two from competing for an NHL job, though he profiles as more of a defensive forward.
