I DOUBT Toronto trades Giordano. I BET there was a deal made behind the scenes with Giordano and the leafs. Lets not forget when he was traded here he was on an expiring deal. Others teams were offering him 2.5M deals multi years. and he decided to take near league minimum to stay with the leafs. My assumption is if the leafs would come to him and say "were going to try and move you" his answer would be alright Ill just retire" The reason he took the near league min is so he could finish out his career as a leaf not get traded far out west and to the States. I doubt toronto would do him like that.
So i myself was wondering earlier if Motte would be an option. Its weird he hasnt been signed yet. Unless he has his eyes on a team that needs to finish their RFAs first before they will sign anyone else. Ex: Edmonton Oilers. I could see Motte signing a 1 year deal to play for the oilers but I doubt it would be 850k , Id think more around 1M.
I believe Calle Jarnkrok will be traded, Unfortunately with the emergence of Matthew Knies and the signing of Domi and Bertuzzi to play on the left side as well , they cant afford a 2.1M player to play on the third or fourth line.
I personally think he will be added in a trade with Liljgren to bring back a Heavy Defenceman. Last season Liljgren was SAT over Justin Holl , so that basically shows how much trust Keefe had that Liljgren could play the way they needed come playoff time. He also doesnt fit Trees Prototypical 3-7th dmen on a Treliving team. I really think were gunna see a Liljgren+Jarnkrok trade.
