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

[Drew311]

Giordano traded for knees is actually pretty appropriate.

Giordano for elbows would make more sense.

 

[Shak19]

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

He's got 1 year left in the tank as a bottom pair veteran dman. I expect him to sign a Spezza like deal, league minimum and retire.

 

[BatVader]

Right now Dubas is trying to convince Francis that Gio is worth more than he’s asking…

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Why are so many people allowed to post fake sources in here and pass it off as truth. Its getting ridiculous.

 

[34]

I hope NOT! If Dubas gave up anything of value he should be fired immediately!

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Oh... yay...
at this point I hardly feel any move Leafs make will matter even in the slightest
teams around us got better and we still have a major question mark in our goalies
Welcome Gio
hopefully you didnt cost too much

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

this is incredible how long it is taking

 

[danpantz]

Dan Rosen just got duped

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Show your source or your talking crap.

You just make this up errrrr

I might have read a fake account by mistake. But you never know.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

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.

How ? Knies is a pretty damn good prospect. I'd take him over a late first.

 

[SI90]

Probably waiting to move Dermott

 

[BKarchitect]

Yeah I’m simply not going to believe the Leafs would give up Knies in this deal. He’s a tremendous prospect. Most Leafs prospects are overhyped. Knies is the real deal and they know it.

Dermott + 2 good picks (2nd+3rd?) seems reasonable given that the guy in the other side is Francis.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

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

Where did I say anyone else was cherry picking? By definition I literally am, but also on average it takes a few weeks for a new coach to implement their new system

 

[K Fleur]

I hope NOT! If Dubas gave up anything of value he should be fired immediately!

I wish this site had a bot that counted how many times this exact post has been made.

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

If Dubas traded a player, prospect, or draft pick for Giordano, he should be immediately fired

 

[Golden_Jet]

Did Brodie play with Gio in Calgary on the same D pair?

 

[forecheck]

I imagine its an overpay or Francis could wait until tommorow to make the deal .... Time is on the sellers side ... Market is thin

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Why are so many people allowed to post fake sources in here and pass it off as truth. Its getting ridiculous.

Even my score app messaged me saying Leafs landed Gio
an hour ago
wheres the details

 

[Master P]

Starting to feel like one of these reporters jumped the gun.

 

[hamzarocks]

Did Brodie play with Gio in Calgary on the same D pair?

Yeah they played like half a decade together. We're a really good pair too

If we drop Brodie to pair 2 I wonder if we have Lilijgren to pair 1 or if we have Holl/Lybush play there

 

[Tripod]

Have to wonder if the ask was a 1st, if they didn't get it than why do the deal now.

 

[Koivu11]

What’s taking so long to get the details?

 

[CupofOil]

I last logged in about an hour ago to see the details....

 

[TheDoldrums]

I imagine its an overpay or Francis could wait until tommorow to make the deal .... Time is on the sellers side ... Market is thin

buyers are thin, it was basically only TO/STL/NYR that were ever mentioned and he clearly wanted Toronto.
