Why would the Wild do this? Gardiner is going to be a UFA in the summer. Wild aren't trading Dumba, Greenway and 2nd rounder for Nylander. If they really wanted Gardiner in the summer sign him. If there is too much cap on the team, then you trade another player. That's how you maximize return, not trading full value for UFA and then hoping you sign him.
For instance during the summer....sign Gardiner as a UFA, trade Dumba for Nylander, and then you get to keep the cap friendly and the very promising Greenway.
