That's a quick easy no from Ottawa. That offer gets pick by every other team interested to acquire Dick Paul

The ask for Gio is not that. I doubt he gets a 1st, let alone a 1st level prospect, a 2nd, and Derms. I’d imagine it’ll be something like Derms + 2nd (similar to the Hall trade last year)

Easy no from Vancouver. Holl is a cap dump going to Vancouver, no use for him. The 4th is a throwaway pick. Duszak is interesting but him alone won’t get it done and he’s a bit older without making the NHL yet is concerning. No deal

Easy no from Ottawa. Please Anderson has no NHL trade value.
If Middleton is any good, why do the Sharks trade a 750,000 player who they control next year for a late round second and never to be NHLer?
Leafs don't need bottom end winger Motte.....especially at the cost of an effective RHD Holl. Geez more hate for Leaf players, without providing a replacement. Moving Sandin to the left side...makes no sense at this time of year.
It's an overpay for Gio, IMO. And really it cap compliant when Muzzin return?

Actually that value is close, I would take out Robertson but the market has now been set with the Ben Chariot trade, Seattle probably believes that they have the better defender and will charge more than what the Chariot deal was.

Yeah but Gio has also claimed he wants to go to Toronto and he can choose his destination I believe. They won’t be paying full price that’s for sure

Oh boy the he only wants to play in Toronto card. in the last 20 yrs Tavares and Spezza are the only members of that club.

He literally said he wishes to come to Toronto; are you stunned?

Wish to go to and will only go to are two very different things

Seattle goes to Gio. Well We had a deal in place to send you back to Calgary but since you have expressed interest in Toronto we will take less to send you there. the NHL Does not work that way.

The value is still way off, if that's the case Seattle would still be looking at a Benjamin Chariot return for Giordano.
