No retention? Awesome!

Lindberg? Amazing

AND A 2nd rounder? Awesome!

Please assess this trade - I would say player for player

 

[iBlaze81]

Cowen is terrible

 

[pgk]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Hahahahaha

 

[sxvnert]

Exactly the type of lowered expectations type deal I was expecting.

#Sens get Phaneuf, Frattin, Bailey, Rupert and Donaghey in exchange for Cowen, Greening, Michalek, Lindberg and 2nd-rounder in 2017.

Taking out the marlie garbage is a bonus.

Clarkson gone. Phil gone. Dion gone.

We're free boys!!!!! The core is dead!!!!

 

[7even]

That's....very little substance.

And very strange timing to be moving such a large contract.

Weird day.

 

[Borschevsky]

I know everyone is excited and in shock .....

I think the biggest thing is getting rid of Phaneufs contract but am I the only one that is feeling "meh" at the rest of the pieces in the trade?

 

[goleafsgo88]

Bob was right.

Anyway the Phaneuf era is over, hope the cap space is put to good use

 

[Primary Assist]

I called it this morning. I never hated Dion as much as a lot of the fans did but I think this is a great move for the Leafs. STAMKOS 2016!

 

[Daisy Jane]

this is bloody amazing.

 

[dubey]

Lamoriello is truly a mastermind

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

If we aren't retaining salary, holy **** I'm ecstatic. None of the Marlies players matter at all.

The players coming back are nothing special, but it's more important that we moved Dion and his contract.

 

[yubbers]

 

[Bluelines]

HOLY SH########################!!!!!!!!!!!


Uh...speachless?

 

[iBlaze81]

the return is bah...

 

[p.l.f.]

michalek 4 mil per for 2 more seasons

 

[deletethis]

The best piece the Leafs get in return is the 2nd round pick and I still like it because it screams "methodical rebuild".

 

[Puzzles]

Cowen is terrible

he's only under contract for one more season though

 

[Rob Brown]

Wow...

 

[CDP]

Bizarre trade but I'm happy someone took Dion with no retention

 

[TedLundy]

I REALLY didnt expect this deal! Holy ****!!

 

[dubplatepressure]

No retention!!!!!!

 

[Blufreezy]

I'm at work so I can't really look things up easily, what are thoughts on the players were getting?
