Friedman: Possibility a Dustin Brown for Dion Phaneuf trade?

[caley]

4. Ottawa GM Pierre Dorion had a lengthy conversation with Los Angeles compatriot Rob Blake during the later rounds of the draft. There is one move that could make sense for both sides: Dustin Brown for Dion Phaneuf. Both have the same cash remaining  $25.5 million. Brown’s AAV is lower ($5.875 million to Phaneuf’s $7 million), but he has five years left on his contract to Phaneuf’s four. The Senator defenceman can go to Los Angeles, but I’m not sure if Brown’s list allows him to go to the Canadian capital.

Ottawa hangs up the phone.

I hope not for Ottawa's sake unless the kings eat half salary. Phaneuf is still a #3

Brown is useless. Phaneuf is still a top 4 dman who just has a bad contract.

 

[ACC1224]

Why would they move Phaneuf after losing Methot?

 

[OVO16]

Kings would win the trade easily.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Who's gonna play D in Ottawa? Lost Methot... If Phaneuf goes too...

 

[fahad203]

As a Leafs fan I hope not.

Brown loves to go knee hunting and I fear for all Eastern Conf young players, including the Leafs

 

[HSF]

Ottawa wont do that lol

 

[Juicy Pop]

Has Friedman lost his goddamn mind? In what universe is Brown for Phaneuf a move that makes sense for Ottawa?

 

[rent free]

ottawa has an overpaid forward in bobby ryan, don't need another one in dustin brown

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

I'd rather keep Phaneuf

 

[TorontoTrades]

Phaneuf is still a good top 4 defenseman.

Brown is barely an NHLer at this point.

 

[TheNewEra]

everytime friedman talks his credibility gets worse...if thats possible anymore

Brown is useless. Phaneuf is still a top 4 dman who just has a bad contract.

Brown is barely an NHLer at this point.

Huh? Brown is still a very solid player. Just overpaid.

 

[edguy]

I mean sure i'd make that deal if we get Vilardi on top of Brown..

 

[SpezDispenser]

Geez, where is he pulling this out of. Come on...

 

[BondraTime]

Yeah, as he said, he's just speculating. In that case, nothing to see. He's not a very smart hockey person per say.

Incredible journalist and has many contacts, when he hears rumblings, trust him.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Lol Phaneuf for that garbage Dustin Brown contract, Can't believe that Dorion would be even that crazy.

 

[SI90]

Wtf? Why would the Sens ever do something like that?

 

[SensBrawler]

I'd hope Dorion wouldn't even consider that. Just keep Phaneuf.

 

[Fugazy]

Kings would do that deal in a heartbeat.

 

[The Thin White Duke]

The amount of weasle words he uses to say basically nothing in 3 paragraphs is astounding.

I hope he's like this in real life.

"Is there a possibility you're invited to a BBQ? There are rumblings going on among those in the know that I may be interested in having a conversation regarding a BBQ at my place. There's no official confirmation but if I had to speculate, Saturday at noon could make sense for most people, but so could Sunday at 4. The Friedman's don't seem to be budging off their BYOB stance, we'll see if anything comes together maybe eventually."

 

[MXD]

That's hilariously ridicule.

Nominee for GM of the year award wants to take on Dustin Brown's contract while losing a top4 d-man? Huh?
