Unless something changes dramatically, Red Wings completely out on Dion Phaneuf. Different philosophies on what the trade would look like.

Eh... I'll wait for someone more credible.

Seems like the media is acting like they are negotiating with Toronto. They are desperate for this trade to go down.

Yeh, likely Detroit thinks they can get him for nothing and Toronto actually wants good value. Screw Detroit

 

[Vexed]

Wilson trolling ONeil lol

 

[Ruski]

Eklund reporting that Polak to Blues is close.

Would be funny if he broke the first leafs trade of the day

 

[Lifeisnice]

Brendan Smith has great corsi and fenwick numbers, if it makes a difference. Probably the best if he were to become a leaf except for Jake Gardiner.

Might be a popular choice with the Leaf's analytics staff

 

[Jozay]

Not surpised. We've already seen that Tor wants to make a hockey trade for Phaneuf. Wings probably want a cap dump kinda move.

Jonas Siegel retweeted, but yeah, we'll wait for more info..

There is so many things wrong with that notion.

If Jokinen and booth are not dealt... Epic fail

 

[7even]

I'm fine with DET being out, never liked the look of the rumoured returns anyways. Much more interested in what a team with the prospect pool of Anaheim has to offer.

 

[Stand Witness]

If they aren't dealt its because no one was interested. So no not really a fail at all.

 

[Falon]

Thank gawd Phaneuf hasn't been traded. Don't take less at the freakin deadline! Wait til the offseason and they won't have to retain a dime.

 

[Territory]

Eh... I'll wait for someone more credible.

He is pretty credible.

 

[diceman934]

When negotiations about a trade gets leaked in the media there is usually another team or teams involved.

Pittsburgh.......comes to mind!

 

[The Magic Man]

I don't like the rumoured idea that we would have to take back Weiss and retain. Screw our divisional rivals. I'd rather not play against Phaneuf all the time anyway.

He's overpaid, but not at a Richards/Weiss/Clarkson/Semin level. Dions still a great D, just needs to be insulated with better players. He's just not the horse we tried to make him.

 

[mydnyte]

If Jokinen and booth are not dealt... Epic fail

who may even want them ...fail on the team that trades for them to be honest.

 

[p.l.f.]

Lets get a 1st for Bozak

 

[Andrew Mack]

Close your eyes and imagine that the Leafs traded Franson, Winnik, Santorelli and Clarkson today. With possibly more to come. You would be pumped.

 

[Gary Batman]

Oh.. good question to Rotten Ronnie...

He, of all people, would really know the pains of trying to win with crappy goaltending.

Theodore + 1st + dump = okay

 

[Community]

Eh... I'll wait for someone more credible.

I hope this is true... Means TOR isn't going to dump Phaneuf for no reason and will wait till the summer if that's what it takes to get a full value trade.

I want him traded, but if the times not right wait till the off season...

Why would anyone want Booth? His career is likely over in a couple months.
