Rumor: Phaneuf may be in play

[Leafs For Life*]

@DarrenDreger

Some rumblings Phaneuf may be in play. Nonis says he will trade just about anyone, but says no one has called on the captain...yet. #TSN

What the return realistically here

Also opens up another major hole on D on top of our need already

 

[Amadeus]

Is Nonis really our GM?

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

lol yeah, lets trade our best dman. Who are we getting back, Weber?? lol

 

[SprDaVE]

Unless it's a really big return, I just don't see how this makes sense.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

This is going to be a fun offseason

 

[Hawaiinleaf]

This would leave us needing a 1A & 1B

Huge holes

 

[stakesishigh]

Oh hell no.

This sounds bad.

 

[Tony Romo]

There is like 10-15... depend who you ask defencemen that can be an upgrade to Phaneuf.. now how many of those are on the market?

Sounds like Toronto expects to be busy on the trade front in the week ahead. Still eager to add a young centre and top 4 D.

**** is about to get real.

Christmas could come early this year!

 

[petehill16]

Young centreman?? Sean Couturier + Flyers first for Dion??

Also, gotta think Philly would need to give up a Young D Prospect as well

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Wondering, what would Maple Leafs fans realistically want for Phaneuf given his skillset, importance to the team, etc.?

 

[TheOtherSide]

This really could be a crazy offseason.

 

[Felstead]

What? Damnn.


I bet he wants a young potential Dman, and a top line C for Phaneuf. That way we clear some cap space to re sign the likes of Kessel, offer contract to Bernier/Kadri.

 

[Mikeyg]

LOL GO NONIS GOOOOOOO fleece em all, GO BIG OR GO HOME, who needs defense, lets become pit 2.0 and stockpile forwards and rely on berny to save us!

Oh Phaneuf... only way I see him going is for another D-Man coming back or us getting a #1 center

Even if we get a #1 center, we're going to be HIGHLY garbage with our defense. We need a veteran like Phaneuf to teach and be a role model for Rielly before he leaves. If he leaves, we're left with all young defense -.-"

 

[ULF_55]

With a good return everyone should be in play.

Really, it can't be stated enough, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

It isn't the Kulemin Maple Leafs.
It isn't the Kessel Maple Leafs.
It isn't the Lupul Maple Leafs.
It isn't the Phaneuf Maple Leafs.

Go Leafs Go.

 

[LV*]

We better not.

All we need is Clarkson/Horton + a top 4 dman, then the draft, maybe a couple of RFAs (Tanev).

 

[LeafsNation75]

Just because Nonis said he could trade anyone where does it say that Phaneuf will be traded? Dreger said himself no one has called asking about him, so where else does this thinking come from?

 

[smitty10]

Young centreman?? Sean Couturier + Flyers first for Dion??

Also, gotta think Philly would need to give up a Young D Prospect as well

How is that going to help us? We get a young center and lose a #1 defenseman.

 

[Leafs For Life*]

My initial reaction is wtf.

Return is going to be a young centre with top line potential (WTF THATS NOT GAGNER) and a young dman.

But still not going to help us like the minute muncher Dion is.

uhmm no please
