Friedman: Leafs in on Giordano, teams also waiting on Lindholm.

[neelynugs]

Back on the Lindholm topic. Can we just get this done with Boston? 22’ first + Lysell + 23’ second. Done deal it matches what Anaheims GM is asking. Boston? What do you say

don't see the bruins trading lysell for a rental. if lindholm is extended, that's a different story (and i'd bet on the defenseman in lohrei over the winger in lysell - lohrei is a better prospect, in my eyes anyway)

would love gio too - warrior and still can play.

 

[Ainsy01]

Leafs in on everyone

huge if true

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

What would your offer be?

I’m not personally interested for what it would cost. If they’re going to add a dman it should either be a lower profile rental or, if they are going to ship out a first +, I’d rather swing for the fences with someone like Chychrun.

I’m more interested in them adding a middle six winger to be honest.

All he'd need is to put the non playoff teams on there. Most partial NTCs basically functions as full ones, it seems.

The only snag that I dont know of is whether they need to get their lists done in the summer. Can they update the list regularly?

Generally speaking players get to update their list once a year in the offseason. Given that only 12 teams are prohibited, it seems likely that he'd include a bunch of non-playoff teams.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

So habs fans lack the basic level of deduction got it.

Why are you resorting to insults ?

 

[HuGort]

on the fan 590 today Seravall said that has of now Mark Giordano nwould prefer to be traded to Toronto,, he doesnt have a full no move so he can not strong arm seattle into trading him to Toronto but he ndoes have a partial NTC so he does have some say in where he goes.

Frank also mentioned the Canes but I cant see that happening since Carolina fired Francis and I am not sure how willing nhe is to help them out.

We do know that Dubas and Francis are close so I could see this deal getting done and if it does that would be a hell of a left side once Muzzin gets healthy.

Rielly Muzzin Giordano on LD is pretty good

then you have Brodie on the right after that it gets a little weaker but the overall depth would be prety good

Rielly
Brodie
Muzzin
Giordano
Sandin
Holl
Dermott
Lubshkin
Lilly

thats not bad depth on the defense

even if one of those guys are involved in the deal thats a solid amount of defensive depth

I would be very happy with that if they could find a goalie that could make a save.

Dubas said numerous times no more rentals. He's looking for players with term

Dubas said numerous times no more rentals. He's looking for players with term

no he has not said that that is just not true at all

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Why are you resorting to insults ?

Why are you being so immature and arguing over something so irrelevant?

 

[AvroArrow]

Dubas said numerous times no more rentals. He's looking for players with term

When has Dubas ever said this ?

he hasnt

Insults again???

 

[Doubledose]

If Toronto is paying Knies plus a first they are planning on trying to resign Lindholm and will move out even a player like Nylander to do it in the offseason.

Agreed but I'd hope they can figure out a different move either different d or different way to make him fit. Huge fan of nylander

Could be worse...like the teams always on no trade lists. Buffalo, Edm , Winnipeg

 

[TrufleShufle]

I don't think that's true. I'm almost certain that partial no trade lists have to be submitted in the off-season and are locked in until the following off-season when they can be changed.

I can almost clearly remember headlines saying, "player X has been asked to submit his X team no trade list." or something along those lines, mid season.

I could be wrong and am not willing to do the leg work, but take my word for it, I might remember it happening....

Edit: I lied, I did the leg work


"Some no-trade clauses are modified, and the types of modified no-trade clauses vary from player to player. Some players must submit a pre-determined number of teams they will accept a trade to if they are asked. In other modified no-trade clauses, players must submit a pre-determined number of teams they will not accept a trade to if they are asked.

The lists of teams to which a player will or will not accept a trade do not exist ahead of time. The lists of teams themselves are not a part of a player's contract. A player creates the list when he is asked to by management.

In no-trade and modified no-trade clauses, if the player does not submit a list of teams in the specified time frame after being asked, he can be traded anywhere."

Maybe the Leafs can just sign him for a cheaper deal next year.

 

[Apotheosis]

I am down. The Giordano-Brodie pairing was lights out for years. Could reunite them and have Rielly play with Lyub as a net clearing presence and then get Muzzin back for the playoffs hopefully in better form.

Giordano-Brodie
Rielly-Lyub
Muzzin-Liljegren

Dubas said numerous times no more rentals. He's looking for players with term

he didn't say no more rentals, but he did say his preference is to acquire players with term and with as much time as possible

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Insults again???

How is that an insult?

 

[Recipe Unlimited]

If Toronto is paying Knies plus a first they are planning on trying to resign Lindholm and will move out even a player like Nylander to do it in the offseason.

And you know that's not a bad move per se...

 

[Holls Blackmail]

You just wake up from a 20 year slumber?

..

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

he didn't say no more rentals, but he did say his preference is to acquire players with term and with as much time as possible

that has literally always been his preference, since the day he became Leafs GM

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Maybe the Leafs can just sign him for a cheaper deal next year.

if they acquire him in a trade then they will have exclusive negoiating rights I'd rather do that

 

[kihei]

Francis owes this guy nothing. If he focuses on one team for the sake of Gio's feelings, he's not doing his job, Get the best deal you can anywhere you can find it, and send him a Christmas card.

McDavid is not old.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

The chemistry between Gio and Brodie makes him an interesting option. Obviously depends on the price.
