Brodie and Gio reunited. Always made the most sense.

Leafs better bolster their goaltending to make up for the odd man rushes Gio will give up when his stick breaks on a blue line slapper

Really you jerks??

You poach him in the expansion draft, make him your first Captain and then immediately tank and trade him?

Boo Seattle....boo! And your coffee sucks too!

Love Gio but don't see him making a big difference for the Leafs with his current play. He has definitely lost a step. Glad he gets to go home and play though.

Good for Gio...going home and also gets his old partner back.

Pretty good upgrade for him.

Still think the Flames and Leafs should have figured out a way to do this last deadline day

Thought the same thing. But the leafs wouldn’t have been able to protect him.

The value of Gio was to likely to flip him at the deadline.

This is hardly a surprise.

Makes me sad, but at the same time happy for Gio. Must have been a tough season in Seattle.

I wish him all the best. Was hoping he'd go to a team with a better chance than Toronto, but his grit and intensity will definitely that team.

There's no way Toronto makes it out of the east.

Vegas drafted guys like Neal with the thought of flipping them at the deadline that first year. Seattle didn't follow that strategy, seemingly going for a less flashy lineup likely with the thought of building around a guy like Gio. Instead team has has an unremarkable year and are trading away all those picks anyways and likely less of a return than they could've.

I am pretty happy for the Brodie-Giordano reunion. How often has an established pair of players played for multiple teams?
