GDT: Trade Deadline Day discussion thread

[Daisy Jane]

I asked last night but not sure if it got answered:

If Leafs choose to retain salary on Phaneuf, does it have to be same for all 6 years? Or can it be 50% for first 3 years, and nothing for next 3?

i think it has to be the entire length of the contract, - same amount
it would be nice to have a sliding amount (or rising amount) or something for some teams

 

[glg51*]

Brendan Smith and a first please.

 

[Gary Batman]

We've known that Toronto is willing to retain salary for a while now.

Link please.

Until now, all indications were that Leafs WEREN'T willing to retain salary.

 

[7even]

Not surprising but I bet if they are the Leafs are going to have a high price on it.

I assume this is why the Detroit trade hasn't happened to this point

As they should. Toronto is ostensibly dealing from a position of strength.

Same for all years.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Damn Arizona gets another good prospect.. Great pool shaping up.

Has to be uniform for the length of the contract.

It's for the remaining of his contract. You either retain for all of the seasons or you don't.

You retain or not, you can't pick years. Unfortunately.

 

[Teeder9]

Wideman isn't being moved.

 

[Leafidelity]

Brendan Smith and a first please.

No thanks. Brendan Smith is bad.

 

[Swervin81]

Dennis Wideman may be on the move

- Per TSN

Nope, Brian Burke just trolled the media on that one.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Aha nice one burkie

 

[SprDaVE]

Damn Arizona gets another good prospect.. Great pool shaping up.

For a concussed player too... while we are here hoping to get a top 30/60 pick for one assets.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Dreger reported this out of the gate at 8:05AM this morning.

The hang up is one prospects. I bet its Larkin. Or maybe Mantha. But Larkin fits our needs more than any prospect we are dealing with.

I agree with you here. And you're right in your earlier post about Detroit's window with their aging stars ... Leafs should be leaving it on Holland to blink first, need to stand firm on the price given what's transacted this deadline

Okay, apparently Wideman hasn't be traded.

Calgary just messing with the media

I love it

I am told that the Leafs are ready to take a portion of the wages of Dion Phaneuf. #mapleleafs #transactions2015

Getcha popcorn ready!!

same % for all of the remaining years

 

[Gary Batman]

Thanks for the replies fellas.

 

[Teeder9]

Brendan Smith and a first please.

Explain why we would want Smith.

 

[doorman]

We all need to realize that IF Dion is NOT traded today the world isn't over. He will be dealt that's obvious and here or the draft matter not to me to be honest. Staying firm on what they feel he is worth is the right move. The summer will only bring extra teams in and much like Clarkson, Phaneuf might wave to where he wasn't willing to go before.

 

[Paradoc]

We've known that Toronto is willing to retain salary for a while now.

Not true. Reports were that Toronto wasn't retaining salary and would consider if it means getting a good price. Now reports are coming out that Toronto is willing to take a good portion of Phaneuf's salary.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

That Flames thing was HILARIOUS

 

[Gary Batman]

Detroit out on Phaneuf front.

Never liked the return anyway.

 

[TimeZone]

No thanks. Brendan Smith is bad.

I concur. Screw Smith

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