I think it might be an all-time record for number of trades before noon, actually.

Pierre McGuire is such a tool. Saying Toronto has to lower its price or no deal will get done on Phaneuf. How about stick to reporting instead of meddling with the negotiating process? It's like he's trying to drive down the price and shout down Toronto's demands. Get the hell out.

He is tight with Ken Holland.....of course he wants Toronto to lower their prices.

Not surprising but I bet if they are the Leafs are going to have a high price on it.

I assume this is why the Detroit trade hasn't happened to this point

This translates to: I'm now being told that the Leafs are now ready to retain salary for Dion Phaneuf.

Source? Toronto said they would consider retaining, but this is the first I heard the Toronto is willing to take a good portion of Phaneuf's salary.

 

[Jozay]

Disappointing day so far.

 

[Schenn]

What an odd name for a practice arena. "Class of 1923 arena"

Dennis Wideman may be on the move

- Per TSN

Coyotes retain 50 percent of Michalek's salary in trade with Blues

 

[Gary Batman]

I asked last night but not sure if it got answered:

If Leafs choose to retain salary on Phaneuf, does it have to be same for all 6 years? Or can it be 50% for first 3 years, and nothing for next 3?

It was definitely reported that Detroit wanted Toronto to retain salary. I don't remember seeing any indication that the Leafs were ready to do so.

Bizarre if true ... With Gio out Calgary is already hurting for defence and they're still in the playoff mix

 

[Stats01]

We've known that Toronto is willing to retain salary for a while now.

That would be suicide for Calgary's playoff hopes.

Dreger reported this out of the gate at 8:05AM this morning.

The hang up is on prospects. I bet its Larkin. Or maybe Mantha. But Larkin fits our needs more than any prospect we are dealing with.

 

[Faltorvo]

It's amazing how Phaneuf's value has changed on these boards recently. For the month before the Clarkson trade, it was all "Phaneuf sucks! Get rid of him!"

Now, it's "Phaneuf sucks! Get rid of him... for a first-rounder and a top prospect!"

oh look another 2 minute old account

 

[Stats01]

It was definitely reported that Detroit wanted Toronto to retain salary. I don't remember seeing any indication that the Leafs were ready to do so.

Dreger said early this morning that 2 days ago the Leafs were not willing to retain salary but now they are. We've known this info for hours now.

3 teams have told me the Kessel price is too high, BUT they are inquiring.

Nope, Burke just trolling the media.

 

[Cor]

Okay, apparently Wideman hasn't be traded.

Calgary just messing with the media
