meh it's off-season for the leafs and give us something to think about...

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Its hilarious how TSN wont even comment on this. You know that Dreger has called Nonis like 600 times tonight

Shanny may be feeding Cox and Kyper more than Nonis is to Dreger now.

Notice Sportsnet started beating TSN once Shanny came in. He and Kyper may have ties via NY connections.

 

[Peasy]

Am I the only one that thinks he won't be traded?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

That's not really much of an accomplishment...

better than none at all.

Am I the only one that thinks he won't be traded?

at the moment yes...but hey as I said i'd be more than happy if he stays as well

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Dion (#3) for #3!

 

[Stephen]

Dunno what you are talking about when the playoffs were on dion did well against the bruins top line...except game 7 where everyone **** the bed.

Oh yeah, he was instrumental in that game four overtime decision at home.

 

[Kyle93]

I'll put it out there: Phaneuf is going no where.

 

[Green Snow Storm]

Good first pairing defenceman, but I feel a move could benefit both parties at this point. Wish him nothing but success if he's dealt out west.

 

[Warden of the North]

I cant find any playing connections, but they are both Hartford and Ranger alumni, so im sure they've connected off the ice at some point.

Was thinking same, I could see Dreger going all rage on Nonis: Dave, I am supposed to be you're #1!

 

[Schenn]

If we trade Phaneuf we might as well just blow this team up...

 

[7even]

GOOD. Somebody has to be responsible. He's the captain, and his ship sunk time and time again.

Randy gets extended, Phaneuf gets traded

ACCOUNTABILITY



This organization is a farce.

Hey look at that I can play this game too stephen!

 

[jmart21]

GOOD. Somebody has to be responsible. He's the captain, and his ship sunk time and time again.

If a captain is given a ship full of holes and it sinks. Who is to blame? The captain for not being able to keep it afloat, or the shipbuilders?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Just pictured this and laughed pretty loudly.

 

[Renegade]

If we trade Dion, we need to be getting someone in return who can play top line minutes.

If the Leafs trade Dion for picks, I'm assuming we're headed for another rebuild. We can't contend with Franson and Gunnarsson leading the pack.

 

[ECanuck]

If we trade Phaneuf we might as well just blow this team up...

We want to change the culture of the team. If we get a high quality pick in return and do poorly we'd have another one.

With Phaneuf we could do a little better but no desired result and a lesser quality pick.


Next, I'd try to move Bozak with Kessel if the price is right.

 

[Baarle*]

Phaneuf (1.5 retained) + Kadri for 3rd overall + Yakupov

Hell no.

 

[Parkdale]

I cant find any playing connections, but they are both Hartford and Ranger alumni, so im sure they've connected off the ice at some point.

Kyper's sources have been feeding him Phaneuf rumors for quite a while now, going back to at least last year's off-season, and well before Shanny entering the picture.

I can't see Nonis shopping him for picks (unless its No3 and they're targeting Ekblad). More like a player that's <25YO that is already an NHL contributor.

Help !

 

[Sundinisagod]

I'd love to trade him for a top 3 pick, would retain some salary or take back a so-so contract to make it happen.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Just watched the Kyper report on connected, sounds like something definite will come out of this. Just sit back and wait for it to happen.

Calgary or SJ?

Kyper is all over this, he's really becoming perhaps the Leafs best insider.

Music to my ears. You are thinking we would suck. I'm thinking we suck anyway! What are you scared of?
