Confirmed Trade: [TOR/SEA] Mark Giordano (50% retained) and Colin Blackwell for 2022 2nd, 2023 2nd, 2024 3rd

[Ledge And Dairy]

Mark Giordano is 38 and he's not the player he used to be, I don't see the Leafs giving a First for him, no way!​

Age is irrelevant with rentals

 

[tstracuzza]

LOL

Can’t believe he called it

 

[Gravity]

2nd + Dermott for Gio(50% retained)

 

[hamzarocks]

Wish we paid the premium for Chychuran + Crouse

Instead going after a comparable player to Muzzin who when he comes back provided what Giordano does

We need a smooth skating D-men entering his prime who could support Rielly with offensive abilities

Wish we went after Chychuran but I guess not. Hopefully Giordano If he played with Brodie can rekindle that chemistry from the mid 2010s that they had

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

You forgot the +

If Dubas pulled Giordano for only Matthews, he should already be put in the hall of fame.

 

[seanlinden]

Jan Rutta plays 1st pair, that's not a great argument

I think you just summed up the counter-arguement.

If healthy, the Leafs will now have Rielly, Muzzin, and Giordano on the left side. Yes, Hedman/McDonagh/Sergachev is probably better; but Brodie is better than Cernak.

3 team trade with SJ…

Leafs get Gio & Reimer

Seattle gets Dermott, 2nd in 23, 3rd in 23

SJ gets Tor 2nd in 24

 

[TheHudlinator]

You are clearly trolling, Calgary was one of the best teams in the league last year after Sutter got his system in place

I'm sorry but no they weren't. They were absolutely better then under Ward but not a top team with Sutter last year

 

[Tkachuky]

My guess… 2nd + 4th

For the record, if we’re right… I guessed this a couple pages before you

Bigger font pls.

2nd & 5th for Giordano & a team trip to the top of the Space Needle the next time the Leafs are in town.

No it isn't.

I cant believe we still dont know the details

 

[Gallagbi]

Is Muzzin out for the season? Seems like an odd addition considering that with Muzzin the Leafs now have Rielly, Muzzin, Giordano and Sandin on the left side, while employing guys like Holl and Lyubushkin on the right side. Not that those guys are "bad", but both are probably better suited as #5/6 guys and the right side is the one that needed upgrading.

They expect Muzz back, but not sure there's much faith in his health currently being on LTIR and having missed the end of the past 2 playoffs

Toronto didn't have the pieces for Chych.

Hearing the trade call is delayed because Dubas is trying to call the draft picks to let them know they've been traded.

Brodie Liljegren Lyubushkin and holl are decent depth on the right side. I'm sure depending on how the play all the rhd except for brodie will be rotated in and out depending on their play.

Why does age matter when a rental is a rental!?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

No it isn't.

yes it is because rentals arent about the future they are about now

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

Crazy Toronto would make this move when they aren't a good team

This is fake .. stop posti g this crap

They're taking it slow with Muzzin and even when he's been healthy he's struggled a lot. This can potentially give us a solid pair that's known to work (Gio - Brodie)

Credits all yours

 

[frederixx]

I'd say a 2nd, 2 x 3rd, 4th, 5th

 

[Foppberg]

He's not wrong. Toronto has had good drafting. Pro scouts are a different story.

I'd argue it's the other way around tbh.
