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

[AlbOilFAN]

1st and a 4th Gio at 50%

 

[Mrfenn92]

Could there be a third team involved to keep half of the half leftover

 

[Wreckus]

LOL that made me laugh way more then it should have.

I almost lost all faith in Holland in making any trades this deadline.

 

[JianYang]

Will have to wait to see if they do something bigger, but the leafs gotta be aiming higher than this if they have cup aspirations.

 

[Chardo]

shades of acquiring Nick Foligno.. an over the hill, former captain to bring in character

gio is not the guy he used to be

What does it say when you have 3 of the 7 highest paid players in the league, including your captain, and you need to bring in character?

 

[RationalExpectations]

Dermott, a 1st and 3rd for Gio at 50% is my guess if there are multiple picks involved.

Could see another team taking 50 per cent cap

 

[cyris]

Multiple draft picks…

2 7ths or 5 1st both goth that description. Lol

It doesn’t tell us much

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

If a first+ is involved Dubas has lost his mind.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

past his prime but still definitely a solid top 4 contributer, especially defensively.

 

[Puckstuff]

The guy is ****ing 38 and we don't even have a goalie, why are they giving up any assets for vets. Dubas is out of control.

 

[Mickey Marner]

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

He was traded to toronto, not Tampa

I was hoping Tampa would get him. Gio would be gold on the Bolts bottom pairing with Sergachev.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Some more context. He does not produce close the Norris level but is still a contributor on offense.

Most smart ppl know this.

 

[Thirty Seven]

"Multiple picks"

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Could there be a third team involved to keep half of the half leftover

I don't think its a coincidence this deal got completed hours after Florida essentially announced they were gonna do this. My guess is a fourth or fifth their way, Giordano and Blackwell to Toronto, 1st and a 3rd to Seattle.

 

[Matt24]

I like it for the Leafs but I still don’t see how they get out of the first round without a goalie.

 

[Boomstick]

Who's Seattle's next Captain?

 

[jaisen73]

If Seattle retained 50 percent it'll be at least a 2nd round pick and others. If the Leafs gave up a 1st then Francis made out like a bandit.

 

[seanlinden]

The guy is ****ing 38 and we don't even have a goalie, why are they giving up any assets for vets. Dubas is out of control.

He did win a Norris at 36... IIRC.

 

[wonton15]

Now take Halak for a pick!

 

[Tkachuky]

Gio will bring leadership to the locker room and likely will be the main voice in the room. No knock against Tavares but Giordano won’t put up with any players slacking off in the playoffs.

Idk how much leadership he really had in Calgary to be honest. He was liked but did he really rally the troops?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Who's Seattle's next Captain?

They’ll name a player captain for today then trade him tomorrow.

 

[Tripod]

guessing 2 2nds and Dermott

 

[kevsh]

For a hockey fan I'm ashamed to admit I'm clueless about 90% of anything cap related, so how could Toronto make this work?
