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

[kovacro]

I could see something like Steeves or Abruzzese and two 2nd’s for Gio.

Correct, especially taking his expansion draft into account.

I was going to say. If Francis' work at/around the expansion draft is anything to go by, the Leafs probably acquired Giordano 50% retained for Clifford and a 5th.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

The trade is Giordano for Knies, Dermott and a conditional 2nd round pick.

Not terrible for Seattle, but shows to me how bad of a GM Francis is.

Please leads give up a first. Please.

Although Giordano is a UFA, I expect it not to be a traditional rental. I expect Giordano to sign with Leafs as a UFA at bargain rate.

 

[TheHudlinator]

They went 10-7 in that stretch. Excluding empty netters, every single loss except for the one Toronto game (5-3) and Winnipeg game (4-0) was by 1 goal.

Man tell yourself whatever you want but you can't say others are cherry picking when you are doing the exact same by leaving out the 7 loses out of the 8 games before that and more importantly the padded their stats by winning 4 out 5 games against terrible teams after the season was over.

I'm not going to argue anymore as Calgary was never a top team last year

 

[Mitch nylander]

I'm feeling it's gonna be a Dermott, a goalie ie Hutchinson/Scott, a 2nd and a mid to late pick for Giordano 50% & another contract (Mccormick)

Lol we are not trading Knies for Giordano

 

[Vukotal Recall]

I doubt very, very much Knies is in this deal. But why is he valued so highly, Leafs fans? I haven't seen him play. Do you project him a a kind of Pacioretty-lite?

 

[POVERTY]

"But he's 38 years old!!!" they cried, about the player who won his Norris at 36.

Either way I have a bad feeling about the return that's going to be announced, whenever that comes.

many textbook examples of how easy fake news spreads in this thread

How long do you think he's going to keep playing for? This might be his last season.

I don’t dislike the Leafs but I always hope they get taken to the cleaners. Just for the laughs

PPG powerforward as a freshman in the NCAA....he is extremely valued by the fans and hopefully management lol

I feel this is going to be a situation where the Kraken fans will cry 'underpayment' and the Leafs fans will cry 'overpayment'.

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Giordano traded for knees is actually pretty appropriate.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

He has already stated that he intends to play at least one more year.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

My guess is Dermott and a 1st as the base of the package. If Chiarot gets the equivalent of Vatrano+Smilanic+1st, Giordano definitely gets a 1st+.

details soon? more like details maybe
