I'd rather have Lucic than Phaneuf if they were both FAs & i had to pick one.
i'd rather have Bobby Orr if we had a 3rd choice and all three were in their 20s and active

If their salaries and years left matched sure. Phaneuf has been much better as of late.I may be in the minority here, but I would be open to a deal around Lucic and Phaneuf. Lucic played really well for the Kings. I don't seem him being a 25-30 goal scorer, but he might still have chemistry with Kopitar and score 15 goals. Edmonton would have to add their 1st rounder in any trade. I wouldn't do a 1 for 1 deal.
on the otherhand the bonus of having Phaneuf is his wife is mega hot actress Elisha Cuthbert & she's brought Mila Kunis to Kings games too. Its like how the Houston Astros have the Justin Verlander + Kate Upton.i'd rather have Bobby Orr if we had a 3rd choice and all three were in their 20s and active

i no longer understand what the **** you're talking about
Unless I'm mistaken Phaneuf will need to be protected or bought out for the expansion draft assuming he refuses to waive it again.
Lucic will as well but it's easier to deal with having to protect a forward than a d.
So if you factor in the likely buyout they'll end up being liabilities to their teams for the same number of years assuming Lucic isn't bought out and since his deal is buyout proof there's no reason to.
Dion's does not have a full NMC so will not require protection. Lucic will
Ottawa was forced to protect him and I don't see it listed anywhere that his status has changed since then.
Having a modified no trade clause doesn't mean you lose your no move protection.
Phaneuf isn't at $7m because he's been retained to 5.25 or something.
The oil would have to sweeten the trade considerably because of loochs extra few years too.
Would Lucic + Puljujarvi make you think twice?
Jesus, I just noticed Phaneuf has 1 pts in 37 games! That's god awful

He is a defenseman. He is not required to score. Lucic has 1 goal in 42 games this season. Now that is god awful.
I'm not defending Lucic either, far from it. I don't have a horse in this race being a Habs fan but come on... Phaneuf is known to be AT LEAST a 20 pts D-man. You can't go back old school with the '' he's a defenseman, he's not required to score''... D-men are allowed to go past their blue line. It is god awful (Lucic's too btw).
Lucic and Dion both have the issue of being out of position as soon as they step over the boards do to molasses-feet.issue is if Dion goes across center ice he gets caught out of position as he is too slow to get back

Mila is hot.
I think that's their entire point.
