Yanni Gord is likely one of the best business applicants available on the market this offseason, because the pending unrestricted unfastened agent heart is very prone to be dealt by way of the Seattle Kraken.
But his teammate, Brandon Tanaf, some other pending UFA, has additionally gave the impression on business forums across the league, albeit down. Speaking on Thursday’s DFO Rundown, insider Frank Cervalli prompt that the Toronto Maple Leafs, who’re already a significant suitor for Lowkey, might be in for a large care for Seattle to safe each. Should imagine:
What if it’s worthwhile to get Gorde and Brandon Tanio in a bundle and reunite the brothers?
Tanio’s extra notable older brother Chris, after all, is in his first season with the Leafs, patrolling the bullpen and blockading pictures at a franchise-record tempo, 129 in 48 video games.
Brandon, a lefty, is 2 years more youthful (33) and has had a shorter occupation, however he may supply double-digit secondary scoring at the 0.33 line, in step with Servalli’s DFO co-host Jason Gregor. Note, what can occur. Be recreated as Tanyu, Loki and Max Domi on this fictitious business state of affairs in Toronto.
“I think upgrading their third line has to be their No. 1 and No. 2 priority. I think they need a center and a wing.”
“I like it,” Servalli agreed. “He’s got some speed, he’s got some bite, he’s got some ability to score, sneaky all the time, and it could be a great playoff line. Could be a pain in the ass.”
Gregor feels there would even be the potential for re-signing Tanio, in order that he may proceed to play along his brother, which might reduce the affect of giving up belongings for simply two ‘rents’. “I think for Toronto that will make it a lot more attractive for them.”
He additionally feels that Nick Robertson can be an obtrusive piece to go back to Seattle fairly than a second- or third-round select.
