I think Marleau would be ahead of Kadri in terms of getting an A because when Rielly was injured it was Marleau who was given the A during that time.gonna be
C Matthews
A Kadri
A Rielly
Thank you Ottawa.
With the exception of last season Phaneuf will have missed the playoffs 2/3 seasons he has been with the Senators. Plus the current Senators roster looks like the Maple Leafs roster circa 2015-2016 when they finished last place overall.happy for phaneuf he got out this hellhole
this isn't even close to true. the 2015-2016 leafs had no top line forward, a bunch of bottom-6 players in the lineup, a top-4 dman in reilly, a bunch of bottom pair dmen, and two medicore goalies. ottawa at least has a 2 top line forwards and a #1 dman.With the exception of last season Phaneuf will have missed the playoffs 2/3 seasons he has been with the Senators.

I'm just comparing them in terms of where they are in the overall standings. Plus one could say they are more of a disappointment compared to the 2015-2016 Maple Leafs, because they were talked about as being a Stanley Cup contender and how they went to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final and how they lost in double overtime.this isn't even close to true. the 2015-2016 leafs had no top line forward, a bunch of bottom-6 players in the lineup, a top-4 dman in reilly, a bunch of bottom pair dmen, and two medicore goalies. ottawa at least has a 2 top line forwards and a #1 dman.
happy for phaneuf he got out this hellhole
hellhole as in being scrutinized because he was the captainHahahaha oh my god.
Apparently we're the hellhole, sitting top ten league wide, while Ottawa is the definition of a tire fire. Makes sense.
Honestly if you hate the Leafs so much go cheer for another team, please.
Phil Kessel was scrutinized just as much from the media and he was not the captain or an alternate captain, however I honestly believed he enjoyed living and playing in Toronto despite the negative attention.hellhole as in being scrutinized because he was the captain
My bad, I thought you were referring to the city/team.hellhole as in being scrutinized because he was the captain
I can see Marleau being traded by the deadline too!I can see Marleau getting an A full time next season.
To be fair that comment was a Tweet from some random person and by mistake TSN let on air with all the other #TradeCentre comments.I think both teams got what they wanted and the player is happy.
I know Dion was Captain and all but the media in TO were hounding him and have showed no respect. Still remember that TSN ticker about Lupol, Dion and his wife.
We took on some of Ottawa's garbage to avoid that!I still can't believe we didn't retain any salary on that trade.
Phil never gave a poop and still doesn’t. Just keeps producing. Wish he was still here but recognize why he went.Phil Kessel was scrutinized just as much from the media and he was not the captain or an alternate captain, however I honestly believed he enjoyed living and playing in Toronto despite the negative attention.
It was still worth it taking on Greening, Cowen and Michalek for the short term compared to having Phaneuf and his contract, along with not having to retain any of his salary. Remember all those who said to trade him that the Leafs would need to retain some of it.We took on some of Ottawa's garbage to avoid that!
I agree. I just think others don't believe Kessel when he said how he enjoyed living and playing in Toronto.Phil never gave a poop and still doesn’t. Just keeps producing. Wish he was still here but recognize why he went.
Wouldn't have Matthews, Andersen or Kapanen if he didn't go.Phil never gave a poop and still doesn’t. Just keeps producing. Wish he was still here but recognize why he went.
We won hyuge!Wouldn't have Matthews, Andersen or Kapanen if he didn't go.
I think we won.
Again I know why he went and don’t regret it. 2 cups later I think there’s a whole lot more respect around here for Kessel. A unique player and skill set. Never the lead dog but a hell of a support.Wouldn't have Matthews, Andersen or Kapanen if he didn't go.

Yeah which is why he excelled on their second and third lines.Again I know why he went and don’t regret it. 2 cups later I think there’s a whole lot more respect around here for Kessel. A unique player and skill set. Never the lead dog but a hell of a support.
Yep, like Hossa up and down the lineup on contendersYeah which is why he excelled on their second and third lines.
