Confirmed with Link: BLOCKBUSTER: Phaneuf to Ottawa in 9 Player Trade

[Six Assets]

Stamkos to Leafs this offseason for sure

 

[OmniSens]

Awesome move! Win, definitely. Really sad to see Lindberg get traded. He'll be a gem.

 

[Deku]

Have the sens and leafs even made more than a minor trade before?

 

[Ahnotamoose]

Sad to give up Lindberg but...

Methot-Karlsson
Phaneuf-Ceci

Wow!!!

Murray did exactly what was needed to stabilize the top 4. Ceci needed that veteran puck mover to help him out and take a load off his shoulders and this does exactly that.

And Phaneuf-Karlsson on the powerplay gives EK a legit one timer option. I can see his scoring rate go up even more now

Cameron forced Murray to make this trade so he wouldn't have to play Hoffman on PP1

 

[HavlatMach9]

also protects against an injury to one of karlsson or methot

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Did Phaneuf have a no trade?

 

[Babych Moustache]

I just love when a 'hockey deal' happens... makes it way more exciting.

HFSens posters yesterday: "Why is everyone complaining that the budget is the problem when we've sunk so much money into plugs like Cowen, Greening and Michalek, and we could be using that money on a legit #2 defenceman who plays the left side?!? "

HFSens posters today: "I... uh... Hm. Ok then."

A+ post would read again.

Not sure what you expect? Its an internet forum where for the most part people can express themselves freely with no identity.

I've been so annoyed by the way that this team has had a glaring problem on the blue line with no internal solution that I've really paid limited attention this season. Nice to see something done about it.

 

[BonkTastic]

Holy dicks, this trade is all kinds of crazy and I love everything about it.

Not even mad that Michalek is gone. We finally have a legit top-2 defenceman on the left side. This fixes SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH OUR TEAM RIGHT NOW, and basically does so at the cost of a #3 winger, a 2nd rounder (whatever), a B-prospect, and two contracts so bad they have cinderblocks tied around their ankles.

Yeah, Phaneuf's contract isn't ideal, but we're sending away Cowen's $4.5mil and Greening's $3.2mil... I mean, right there, saving all that money makes Phaneuf's contract so much easier to swallow.

 

[BK201]

I've had a massive crush on her since grade 5 with popular mechanics for kids.

 

[Caeldan]

Has anyone looked at the money involved in the deal?
I actually don't know what all the contracts look like involved.

 

[HarrisonFord]

enjoy him guys, I think you'll like him. hes not as bad as people were making him out to be

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Karlsson is pretty sad at Michalek leaving. Quite emotional actually it seems on the radio. But excited to get Phaneuf.

"It will shake things up and hopefully make things better."

They were really tight. I think Milo was Karlsson's closest friend on the roster.

 

[Sens Rule]

Spezza's kid in my nephews montessori school. Trades. Michalek's kid in my nephews montessori school. Traded.

I hope Phaneuf has an under 4 year old. Maybe I will meet Elisha Cuthbert.

 

[Nairbo]

We finally got rid of Cowen. And Chia.

 

[BK201]

We know but we have to talk crap cause it's Toronto.

Oh. So basically if you want to stay on the Sens... don't make friends with EK.

How many friends is that we have traded away now?
The Great Dane. Silfver Surfer. 9MM.

 

[Sun God Nika]

First trade silfverberg
Then trade lehner
Then trade lindberg

Its like bm follows me on social media just to stab my heart

 

[The Lewler]

Phaneuf has signing bonuses every year so his actual dollars don't really get any cheaper as we go along.

At any rate, Melnyk is spending, and we got that LHD.

 

[Iamok]

Why am I so excited about this deal, it's only Phaneuf....

So what do the Murray haters have to say now?

 

[HavlatMach9]

no need to rush chabot

 

[Uncle Bill]

In the last two major trades the Leafs made, they jettisoned the two most overrated players in the NHL: Kessel and Phaneuf.

What in the world was Ottawa thinking? Phaneuf will not help the Senators. Good luck Sens. You're going to need it.
