TSN Radio Rumour: Phaneuf to Oilers for Gagner and #3

[deuce457]

Just heard on TSN 1050 that there is a 'rumour' floating around of Phaneuf to the Oilers for Gagner and the #3 pick.

What are peoples thoughts on this ? There was no talk that Toronto would have to give up their #8 pick.

If you have Boyle lined up to come and replace Dion, I think you have to seriously consider this. Gagner replaces Bolland. Hell, maybe you can then swing a package with the 8th pick to jump up to #1 and come away with Ekblad and one of the Sams. Huge wishful thinking, but that is why this time of year is so fun.

[I Believe]

No complaints here

 

[Jacob8hockey*]

WHo said it?

 

[Joey Hoser]

That's a million times better than the supposed Gardiner/Kadri deals floating around. I do this without hesitation. Would even add some if necessary.

 

[trellaine201]

Would he goto Edmonton? He has the last say.

 

[topched]

Would he goto Edmonton? He has the last say.

Almost guaranteed, he doesn't have full control. He gets a 14 team list. Almost a guarantee his hometown is on the list

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

I'd do it

 

[Banana Squid]

Would he goto Edmonton? He has the last say.

Not before July 1st he doesn't ...

 

[Kelly]

Hell yea! Not including our pick, that would be a steal.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Make it so

Makes sense for EDM to take Phaneuf and dump Gagner, but I'd think they'd want more to flip the third. If Nonis can hold on to that pick and the eighth overall he's a genius.

NTC doesn't come into effect until July 1.

That would pretty much lock us in for a top 5 pick next season.

 

[leafs in five]

no way..

 

[Woodman19]

Value seems fair.

 

[Grandpabuzz]

Even though I still a fan of Phaneuf, I'd do this trade easily. Our defense will be terrible next year, but having a draft that includes Draisaitl and Ehlers would be amazing.

 

[trellaine201]

Not before July 1st he doesn't ...

Right. So if they want to get rid of him, best time is before.

Edm would only take him if leafs took on salary. Edm is cheap

 

[Joey Hoser]

Hence, Gagner.

If no salary is retained, I'd do this deal in a heartbeat.
With or without Boyle's interest in us.

 

[cack]

Toronto already has a weak center like Gagner in Kadri, don't see Nonis trading his best defenseman for another one of those.

 

[masarume]

TSN scouts compared him to a smaller Joe Thornton.
If we have a top 3, you gotta think we're going Reinhart, Bennet, or Ekblad.

 

[Woodman19]

Sometimes to trade warts, you have to take on warts. Gagner is salary ballast in this hypothetical deal and the value is the 3rd overall pick.

They can have Franson too if they want.

Unless he is willing to flip Gagner for something else

Or trade Kadri...

 

[Defense]

Itll never happen
