You forgot to mention Gardner's very untimely holding penalties.


Now that the Skins need to move Gardner to free up cap space - they will need room to sign the 9th pick in the draft if nothing else - the bidding for Gardner will go down not up. Teams know the Skins cap room situation; it is not a secret. So teams are less motivated to bid high for this guy because they know the Skins are really anxious to move him on.
