I cant say Gandalf would have helped that much. How much good did he do in the hobbit? Bad stuff stil happened. Certainly Gandalf would have changed things. It could have been far worse. It all worked out in the end so it is not important to go back and say what if Sam had eaten a ham sandwhich on thursday. Thats the way Tolkien wrote it and its great.
