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

[The Nuge]

Even if they gave up the 1st, that’s a big add. Dubas needed to get a 4th top 4 dman and Gio is still a solid 2nd pairing guy

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Does Seattle retire Gio’s number?

 

[Mr Positive]

Two 1st rounder picks + Dermott

Confirmed

(Just kidding)

 

[Taytro]

Two 1st rounder picks + Dermott

Toronto fans better hope not.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Dubas is desperate he will pay whatever price Ron Francis asks for.

 

[Andre Palot]

Honestly just name Eberle the next captain and call it a night

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Because the entire East buffed up and you guys looked to be projecting to be out in 4 in the first round when your core is a couple years from breaking up and his job is on the line?

Not that this trade means anything because the Leafs are still going out in first round in 4-5 games since there's a 95% chance they're facing Tampa.

Or we are playing 7-D chess and losing games purposely to let Boston take 3rd in the Atlantic….

 

[Mobiandi]

Giordano-Brodie is still a high-end shutdown pairing going into the playoffs. Too bad their goaltending is a nightmare

[JKG33]

Another deadline blunder for Dubas. Whats next, the corpse of Subban?

Kneeordano-Slewban would be quite the pairing

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

this isnt a rumor anymore we know he has been traded we just dont know what for

If you can’t beat tampa, just injure their entire team

you dont even know what the return is

If it is a 2nd + or a 1st, Toronto needs to consider a new GM next season.

Chiarot got a 1st +. Manson got two 2nds, it was always going to be a 2nd+.

We should have a new GM period, but if it involves a 1st or one of Knies, Robertson, Niamela, or Amirov, then we riot.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I’m predicting Leafs give a 1st, 2nd and Dermott. That would be a great return for Seattle

 

[Canadienna]

As much as I don't like the Leafs I think this is a good add for them.

He's one of the only NHL players I've met and I just remember how solid/thick he looked. He's a tank and perfect for what they lack.

 

[1989]

To not get absolutely annihilated by Tampa, silly!

But seriously, price aside, it's not the worst move they could have made.

 

[JKG33]

I don't care, I wouldn't claim him off waivers. Much better uses of cap space

 

[Doublerum1975]

They will probably announce the details tomorrow keep people on the ledge lol

No way amirov is on the table for anyone considering his health

 

[BatVader]

Multiple picks likely means no 1st going to SEA.
Most likely a 2nd+

 

[Mickey Marner]

 

[93gilmour93]

If it is a 2nd + or a 1st, Toronto needs to consider a new GM next season.

He easily gets a 2nd + something

 

[Nylanderthal]

Reilly Boosh
Gio Brodie
Muzz Holl
Sandin Liljegren
That’s 8 NHL D and the 6 vets make up a real solid playoff D core

 

[Bounces R Way]

I wonder if Dubas knows that just because a player wants to come to Toronto it doesn't mean he absolutely has to acquire them.
