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

[Advanced stats]

My guess is 2nd, 3rd and prospect.

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

IIRC... Muzzin was probably the Leafs most effective D in the playoffs until he also got hurt.

It would not suprise me, if Giordano, much like Muzzin this year, may have been "playing to get hurt". These are two guys that are likely going to substantially elevate their game in the playoffs. With Lyubushkin a likely regular, and that 6th spot theoretically up for grabs between Sandin/Liljegren/Holl, the Leafs will have quite a bit if physicality in their blueline.

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

All that matters is how good they are this year

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

2nd + kerfoot + dermott for gio 50% retained and Appleton.

 

[habamillions]

Leafs probably trying to trade their 2nd but forgot they already traded it to get rid of ritchies contract

Show up tomorrow folks to find out the return live on Tradecentre!

Lol just paid the premium? There is a MASSIVE difference between the value of those 2 and Giordano.
I’m sure you leaf fans think the premium is not much but maybe stop being so biased.

Chychrun would cost 3 1sts equivalent while crouse would be a 1st+.

Is it really this hard to get details? The trade was announced 40 minutes ago...

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Details have been delayed because Dubas is trying to get Grubauer too.

No we didn't

 

[BatVader]

Lol… insiders trolling leaf fans by keeping the suspense going as long as possible

Why not sign Wayne Gretzky then?

 

[DucksUnited]

22 First round pick + 23 Second round pick + 23 third round pick for Gio is my guess

That 2nd is in 2025….

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

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

I said after Sutter's system was in place. You dont implement a system day 1, it takes a few weeks. Over the last 17-21 games of the season Calgary ranked 3rd in GF%, 7th in SF%, 4th in CF%, and 2nd in xGF%. They were definitely dominating

 

[Gravity]

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

Can't believe you're making me defend the Leafs but Niemela, Knies, Robertson, Sandin and Liljegren are good picks for where they were selected.

 

[habamillions]

That 2nd is in 2025….

Oh ok.

 

[Cotton]

Toronto didn't have the pieces for Chych.

Sure they did, but weren’t willing to part with them. Friedman said as much.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Is it really this hard to get details? The trade was announced 40 minutes ago...

My guess is this is a case of reporters wanting to be the first with the scoop, so they rush to announce the trade before they actually know the details.

To be fair I believe Bruins/Ducks fans had to wait an hour as well yesterday. Appears the insiders are breaking the trades earlier than ever in the process.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Details have been delayed because Dubas is trying to get Grubauer too.

He checked this thread and saw the Leafs fans all panicking about their 1st and now he’s calling back saying he didn’t mean it

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

No it isn't.

How is it relevant? The player you get now is the player you will have for "now"

 

[Rob Brown]

Lol… insiders trolling leaf fans by keeping the suspense going as long as possible

Yeah, I'm sure that's it.

 

[habamillions]

No we didn't

I got informed it was a few years down the road.

Bad teams do well when there is no pressure anymore not to mention we played mostly trash teams.
