Brodie really opened up his offense tbh
I wonder how many more Norris trophies he could have competed for if he and Brodie played together instead of Gio and Hamilton.
But you know what, I’m thankful for that other pairing. If got us a great return on Hamilton in Hanifin and Lindholm. We basically went from a 15th overall pick to Hamilton to 5th overall in Hanifin.

We won that trade so hard! Sucks to lose Ferland but I think our return was unbelievable.

His contract ask is reported to be ridiculous (6-7M with term) so it may end up being the best option.
However, if Brad can get him back around 4.5 id love to see Ferly back.

Wow, to think the Canes did not want to pay Lindholm, they definitely aren’t giving Ferland 6-7M
I think he’ll hit free agency and sign a long term deal around 4.5M for 5-6 years. He might even give us and Winnipeg a hometown discount (since we drafted him, developed him and believed in him, and Winnipeg since he’s from there). He did say he wants to sign close to home.
I think he’d be the 5th best tied with Frolik and Neal (when he gets his game back).
My winger depth chart would go; Gaudreau, Lindholm, Tkachuk, Bennett (intangibles), Ferland (tough guy and can potentially score 30/Neal (sniper, can score 20-30)/Frolik (amazing defensively, reliable for 15-25 goals) and all can move up the lineup
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm (Scoring Line 1)
Tkachuk - Backlund - Bennett (Shutdown Line 1)
Ferland - Jankowski - Neal (Scoring Line 2)
Frolik/Mangiapane - Ryan - Hathaway/Frolik (Shutdown Line 2)

Think of it this way: we were overplaying Hamilton and getting him a reputation of an#1 RD in this league playing with gio, then turned him around for Lindy and Noah. Now we put Brods back to where he belongs

I’m glad he’s tied for the lead in points because often the voting is skewed towards the points leader and Gio doesn’t usually produce as much as a guy like Burns but Gio is so strong everywhere else. So hopefully keeps it up and leads all d men in points so that there is no question who should get the Norris.

If Gio leads in points there is no way he doesn’t win the Norris. His play off the puck is already norris worthy, adding his offensive side to it is a runaway.

Exactly

TIL that not only is Giordano tied with Burns in points at 52, but also other notables such as John Tavares, Evgeni Malkin, Alex Ovechkin, Claude Giroux, and Jack Eichel.

If the voting were today. Gio should be unanimous winner.

Except for one writer who leaves Gio off the ballot entirely and votes for Theodore Weber

But does he lead in the "Toronto writers' vote" case?

I know I'm going to get MASSACRED on this, but we need to trade Giordano and, imo, get a gritty ass captain. I'm talking old-school don't fuck with my players grit. The kind of captain that people go to war for, but that we see. Goddammit, we have no teeth.
