If this was a bigger deal I think at this point something would have leaked. Wonder why it’s taking so long.

Maybe it fell through...?

Guys relax. It takes time for Dubas to notify everyone on his '22 an '23 draft lists that he won't be drafting them now.

Starting to think this deal is requiring a third team and those fine details are what is taking so long.

Hilarious how a few of you are saying what a turd Dubas is for picking up Gio before even hearing what the details of the trade. Try to be objective people. Gio still has alot to offer. The quality of the trade will depend on what is going the other way.

The issue is this is the move. Dubas feels that Giordano is what he should be using his limited cap space on.

Florida went out and got a better d-man (Chiarot) and arguably the best forward on the market (Giroux). Boston went out and got the best d-man available and signed him long term (Lindholm). Tampa went out and got a great middle 6 forward thats signed to an insanely good contract (Hagel).

they better not be giving up lots here at all

But does she knows the return of the Gio trade?

How is Chiarot better than Gio? There's nothing out there to support that.

Apparently not.

An entire dragon ball z arc can be completed before these details are announced

Chairot vs Giordano is very debatable as to who is better.

Hagel is a guy shooting 22%, while playing top line. Biggest fluke of 2022 so far.

Nothing is final until it's final.

Sunday afternoon, though. Maybe they're contacting the players involved before a deal is announced -- or not.

Chiarot is younger, a better skater, and plays more physical

So?

Dermott has to be involved.
