    That’s what him and Gio must’ve been chatting about

  2. smileyduude

    Please. Looked strong tonight, he’s a passionate outspoken player as well. Would love to have him.

  3. No-Stick303

    This feels all so orchestrated by his agent to get him the hell out of Calgary and into the spotlight before his UFA season. Can’t hate it’s a smart strategy to get your client money.

    It can only help. I know this dude has his own question marks but anything that further moves klingberg off the team is the right move. No idea how it could work but id be pretty happy if our healthy d core looked like this somehow:

    Rielly, Brodie, McCabe, Lilly, Zadorov, Giordano, Lagesson (sp?). Feel like that’s a serviceable top 7.

    I’d like to offer Klingberg, his Scotiabank Arena Pass, and his Ford Performance Centre Pass

    I’m getting Blue Balls on this one. Oh man this could be so sexy!

    I know nothing about zadorov other than that he’s a big body and he’s brave AF for that summertime anti putput interview.

    Is he actually any good or is this going to be a quick “wish we could get him” to “oh shit he actually sucks” turnaround?

  8. AwkwardBlacksmith275

    I don’t blame him, the other option is driving a bmp in Donetsk… Slavs Ukraini

    Tell him not even to get onto the flames plane. He’s already here.

  10. TheLoomingMoon

    The defence has other issues aside from personnel, but boy would he be a welcome addition.

  11. SpinningDickTwist

    You could tell he was auditioning for us tonight and I loved every minute of it.

  12. I_Am_Vladimir_Putin

    Dude hits, and wants to win games. Exactly what we need

    Edit: holy shit the boy is 6’6”

  13. I speak for Leaf fans when I say we would welcome him. And you can take Reaves or Klingberg for your troubles.

  14. Wannacomesitonmydeck

    Would Calgary even want Klingberg? Isn’t he injured?

  15. Jmac24mats13

    Klingberg and Reaves…will be tough to see them go *snicker snicker*

  16. saggy_earlobes

    This is fucking hilarious, right after that fuckshow of a game we both had

  17. Would love to have him at the right price. It is so paramount to this organization that Nick Robertson not be traded.

  18. I like Zadorov, but he is not worth giving up a 1st round pick for 1/2 a season. (or Knies or Robertson, lol)

    And he’s worth more than McMann or Klingberg or anything like that.

    I personally don’t see a trade that makes sense for the Leafs and think all this noise is about enticing another team that will compete with Toronto in tbe playoffs to go after him like TB or BOS or others.

  19. LevelDepartment9

    im scared what treliving would give up for him + getting the flames to eat some salary.

    would be a good addition, but doesn’t really change the leafs defense. need to aim higher.

  20. Francis33

    How about nah

    We already have 2 3rd pairing defenseman that don’t produce offense. Benoit and Lagesson
