Tor trades - Giordano(d)tor - 2025 UFA 2nd rounder - 2025 UFA 7th rounder
L.A. trades - Pionk(d)win - 2023 UFA 1st rounder - 2025 UFA 6th rounder - 2025 ufa 7th rounder
Toronto does this to bring Pionk home. A good dman in his prime, who has been all around the board since I traded him a 1.5 years ago. Giordano is a great dman, I’m sorry to see go, especially with his great contract. But he is 39 years old. We were most likely going to trade him near trade deadline, but L.A. gave a great offer…. We have to learn to do without Gio at some point…. I lose a 2nd, I gain a 1st, gain a 6th, and wet younger. I’m happy. Thank. Mr. Baker 😀

Classic case of moving salary and a younger player for an older player who fits the "all in" motive LA has going on around here. We are trying to go all in, this is a great player to do that. Durzi was gone because of being traded to AZ, Pionk might make the playoffs, Giordano is a guarantee at this rate. The Leafs are still good as long as they continue to ice the current roster they have.
Thanks Dan, happy to have Gio back, this time at a lower salary!
