Speculation: Dion Phaneuf: where is he?

[7even]

Banging his hot wife on a bed made of money and enjoying his 30s as a multimillionaire

Off topic but Pierre is a cringelord.

Wow. I never saw that video before.

So funny.

Speaking of Dion, there's got to be a Dion Phaneuf Hat Trick:

-A give away

-Missing a check completely

-Putting a team mate out for the season with a Slapshot.

 

[Hennessy]

There are always 20 guys left over this time of year with one or two names that stand out. This is Dion's time to shine as a former marquee player that bowed out early due to lack of interest. See also: Brian Boyle and Thomas Vanek.

 

[CartographerNo611]

Maybe he does a farewell tour in Europe for a year. Get paid to vacation with the wifee.

 

[GJB]

His career started out with a bang, posted his 4 highest point totals of his career in his first 4 seasons.
Now going out with little fan fare at all.

I wonder what it would be like to be Dion Phaneuf....

 

[SlapshotTheMovie]

He said he wasn't done and teams reached out to him but that was the last public statement he made that i saw.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Met him at a restaurant last summer here in la - really nice dude. You can argue his on ice personality but very approachable off the ice. Hope he lands somewhere. If not, great career.

Met him once and he seemed like the average guy it's too bad that he's doneso

 

[Cancuks]

Done just like his wife's acting career.

Or as Pierre Macguire would say...'THAT'S A TRIPLE DION!"

Triple Dion no doubt.

There was one world championship where Pierre Maguire talked about certain players with "slash skating" ability. I think he got pretty excited and probably meant to say that Canada had a lot of good skaters.

Nevermind the joke, I want to know how f***ing hot it was outside for that pylon to melt like that.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Surprised he hasn't got a PTO. Guy's had a pretty good career. In the right environment he could be productive again.

Is this based on name recognition only? I just read you say Russell is past his best before date and yet you feel Phaneuf has something to offer? One’s a decent 5/6 and ones a complete washout.

Boyle is still useful as last season showed. He is obviously holding out for the right situation for him and his family at this point in his career.

Phaneuf on the other hand would be a depth PTO guy at best.

 

[Tripod]

Watch him show up on the Jets...

God I love the internet.

You win this thread.

Sean, I know it's you.

 

[Barnaby]

He’s made a ton... I wouldn’t be thrilled about a PTO or a league minimum deal either.

He’ll probably hang them up unless a desperate team offers him a couple million. Otherwise, enjoy your money and smokeshow wife.

 

[Vitto79]

He’s loaded , his wife is too so I’d retire and collect the buyout money

 

[ratbid]

Area code on the ad is 705 so it must be northern/central Ontario

Edit: my sleuthing skills have led me to believe that this is in Barrie

So much Ontario in this picture for sure, but definitely Barrie

 

[Seanaconda]

I hope he signs another contract, just because this will be a sad way for a good career to end. People will always remember him in relation to his contract/expectations rather than what he was. I really hope he's not seen 10 years from now as a bad defenseman, because of the way it ended.

uhh I really doubt him signing a pto or on as a third pairing dman will redeem his career . unless he wins a smythe or something. he pretty much never lived up to his first few rookie years in calgary

but thats whatever the guy got to be the captain of the leafs , made a bunch of money and married an actress basically because he was amazing during his elc .

 

[leeroggy]

Searching for Continuous Care Facilities so he can make an easy transition. Also auditioning for Pylon Modeling jobs and designing his new line of 'Enough Phaneuf'' Sportswear . . .

 

[FerrisRox]

Done just like his wife's acting career.

His wife is currently starring in a series that she has been on for multiple years and continues to work steadily.
