Does not sound like any prospects coming our way. Sounds like 2 x 2nds + 3rd.
Yeah. I would think 2x 2nds + 3rd is close to a 1st but not sure why we threw Blackwell in there.Disappointing if it’s just 2 2nds and a 3rd.
Seravalli says it's 50% retained.Yeah. I would think 2x 2nds + 3rd is close to a 1st but not sure why we threw Blackwell in there.
Also, curious how much we are retaining. Can't say I am thrilled with the return but it could have been much worse. Also, curious if the low value is just because Francis waited too long or there was just not enough of a market for Gio.
I wonder if that's why the return was lower. Francis was working to meet this request.Gio wanted Toronto, all good with me.
Yeah. 50% retain as I had expected. Not a great deal for Francis. I had a feeling Dubas would get the upper hand in the trade.
Potentially. And I am pretty sure Francis comes out and says something like, 'Giordano has been a great leader and captain since he joined us. Blah .. blah .. blah ... We wanted to do right by his wishes and moved him to the team he asked us for'.I wonder if that's why the return was lower. Francis was working to meet this request.
At least we will have tons of cap space this summer.
Yeah. And what is the living world man. I mean, Chiarot got a haul compared to what Gio got. He got more than what Blackwell + Gio returned. I just don't get that.While hindsight is 20/20, we can look back on the expansion draft and evaluate the results here since picking Gio was always for the TDL return he would bring.
Unfortunately, those two 2nds are not looking so hot with the opportunity cost being Oliver Kylington.
In fairness, Kylington was not the top of my board for the ED pick last spring either, as I had Gio from a flat out trade value perspective too, so I can't really fault Francis for this one, it just hurts to know what could have been.
That Chiarot move was just poor GMing by Zito.Yeah. And what is the living world man. I mean, Chiarot got a haul compared to what Gio got. He got more than what Blackwell + Gio returned. I just don't get that.
also curious as well as an honest take on how Gio's looked this year. Thanks!Can you guys tell me a little bit about what we can expect out of Blackwell?
