The Farm needs some Gardining

Seems like the perfect time to send Jake Gardiner down to the Marlies. Sitting in the press box isn't doing Jake any good right now. Any player that comes out of college will struggle with the length of the schedule. It appears that Gardiner is feeling the effects of the long gruelling NHL schedule about now. With the defence clicking  and healthy along with the strong play of Cody Franson, they should let Jake get some minutes down with Eakins to help him get used to a long season.
