Confirmed with Link: Leafs have acquired D Mark Giordano (50% retained) and F Colin Blackwell for 2nd, 2nd, 3rd

[Leafsfan74]

It has now been half-an-hour since the trade broke and we still don't know the return.

Probably means there are other big calls being made while this deal is agreed to in principle with a couple of scenarios to iron out, or, more pieces between them in play. May not even be Dubas handling the minor details at this point IF that is the reason for the delay.

 

[Gallagbi]

Any chance the players waived today need to clear before this can be made official (i.e. tomorrow at noon)? Perhaps some cap impact.

Doubt it with the Muzz injury

Keefe loves that guy after he dropped 13 hits across Canes and Stars. Boosh is a keeper

I also think Keefe is sick of having a pillow soft D.

 

[fahad203]

Feels like this could be a multiple piece thing given how slow details are coming out

I mean unless it's a three way deal or contract dumping the other way, it really should be straight forward

I am not sure if Kraken's are retaining. Maybe it's the numbers are being reviewed

 

[LastOne2100]

Our first was always going to be traded. If this means we don't have to play Holl anymore I'm all for it.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him resigned.
Like the interest in Hakanpaa last offseason.

 

[Mickey Marner]

They're really milking this shit.

 

[Nylanderthal]

I still think that is awful for a rental. Dermott isn't a gem but he's still pretty much an every day defenseman on an elite team, and he just turned 25.

Dermott is the 9th guy in a 8 guy depth chart. He brings nothing to the table for this blue line and would be better used as an asset to acquire a better fit

 

[Leafsfan74]

Probably some convoluted conditions on the picks maybe.

If Leafs win Cup, pick becomes a first or something. I dunno.

Astute point which could be possible, though not probable.

 

[TimeZone]

Holy f***ing shit can somebody just f***ing tweet the cost already?

This is f***ing excruciating.

 

[mapleleaf979]

I hope Kerfoot is involved.

 

[aingefan]

Details to be announced at 930am.
During deadline broadcast.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Nick Foligno vibes. Maybe its just the Italian thing going on and they are almost 40.

 

[robertmac43]

This trade makes a lot more sense then last years moves!

 

[Leafsfan74]

That's makes about 100 Million of us or however large the global Leaf Nation is hah.

Its a 1st + Knies and yo mama

That's mean. There was posters calling him an "elite bottom pairing D" last offseason

 

[Raging Bull]

Including our first in a deal for a 38 year old rental would mean they learned f*** all from the Foligno trade.

 

[OVO16]

I hope Kerfoot is involved.

Praying

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Fretting about the return...

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Holy f***ing shit can somebody just f***ing tweet the cost already?

They’re just hammering out the Fleury deal in conjunction is all

At least Gio is still a more than formidable player. It all comes down to price though.... We had a major overpayment for Foligno

 

[JKG33]

Our first was always going to be traded. If this means we don't have to play Holl anymore I'm all for it.

Imagine if an engineer said "This bridge I designed was always going to break, at least with this change now slightly fewer people will die."
