How the hell do you know how Horcoff is as a leader? Are you in the room? From everyone I have heard from other than you and Cloutier, he is a fine leader. He works his ass off every game. You should compare the Oilers records with Horcoff in the lineup to when he is out of the line up.
- Al Hacker

I've heard what Clouts has heard about Horcoff, actually a bit worse than what he has said... i'm not going to make statements other than that though otherwise i'll sound like the guy who knows a guy who knows a guy

None of the guys you mentioned are available. What a joke on the Phaneuf deal, he isn't going anywheres along with Kessel both will re-sign 5 year deals.

None of Edmontons young guns are going anywheres so what do you even have that Toronto wants, a team playing well. Gagner is ok but not even an upgrade on Bozak who has chemistry with Kessel, plays big PK minutes and is quickly becoming an face off ace.

MPS is worth nothing to Toronto. Think he gets time over Torontos own young guns Kadri and Frattin? Not a chance.

If there are scouts however they could be looking for some cheap help. MacArthur will be available no less than a 2nd if not a late first from a contender. However MacA is a poor fit for what you need.

Liles could be had for a 2nd maybe even a 3rd +. Franson is playing the best hockey of his career the last two weeks, he's not getting moved at this time.

Gunnarson could maybe be had but he's very underrated, a jack of all trades back there a 2nd will absolutely not get you Gunnar.

Could grab one of the depth guys for mid picks if that's what your looking for but I doubt it. Outside of Liles or MacA there's no deal that makes sense for TO and it's the depth that's keeping them winning right now.

WHoever wrote this article is an absolute joke. Basically taking trolling to a whole knew level by forgoing the comments section and actually somehow getting a job.

First of all, its cheap and lame to use the Leafs in your title just because you know it will get you hits.

Secondly, Dion Phaneuf a salary dump? Contrary to what the mouth breathing portion of the fan base might tell you, Phaneuf is the best player the Leafs have and the Captain of their team. You think they would trade him for a salary dump? Even when you consider that if they buy out Mike Komiserik they are nearly 15 million under the cap. What a joke. Yeah the Leafs sure are in a hurry to move a top 10 player at the hardest position to aquire.


Secondly, if you think Bozak is a "third line" centre who a) would be traded or b) would play below Gagner if he was, then you are welcome to actually watch a Leaf game sometime.

The Leafs have found there "true number one centre" and he ain't going anywhere. Expect him to be resigned within days.

Oh and by the way, Phil Kessel would be the best player on your over rated team. Long term, I'll give you Hopkins, but jeez dude how you ever got a paying gig is frankly unexplainable.

Sure, we will trade you Phaneuf. Select one of the following to send back the other way:

Taylor Hall
Jordan Eberle
Nail Yakupov
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

No?

See while you may want lots of players from our team, you have nothing to offer us outside of these players.

You want to know what Edmonton really needs to do? FIRE YOUR GM. Start the rebuild with him.

I think we could land Phaneuf if we wanted to....

Edmonton - Phaneuf, Kostka, and Steckel

Toronto - R.Whitney, E.Belanger, R.Jones, and D.Hordichuk

By the way its pretty obvious that Edmonton would trade for either Gunnerson or Liles.

No dude. Just.........no. That trade wouldnt net you Kostka. What a joke.

If you want Dion, it would honestly cost you Taylor Hall, otherwise, why would the Leafs bother.

I might have to put you on a leash, sheesh.

Richard Cloutier: Hordi Chucked; Leafs Raked; Smyth Miffed
- Maxbone

Not a single one of those Leaf players make sense.

Simple solution for Smytty if he want better line and minutes...PLAY BETTER!

Leafs want to unload their captain who plays close to 30 minutes a night and anchors the powerplay? No.
- dionschenn

Good, Cuz we sure as hell dont want him.

No dude. Just.........no. That trade wouldnt net you Kostka. What a joke.

Calgary - I.White, M.Stajan, N.Hagman, and J.Mayers

Toronto - D.Phaneuf, K.Aulie, and F.Sjostrom

You know what I'm saying !!!

I might have to put you on a leash, sheesh.

I'd inquire about colborne for fun. Haven't heard too much about him lately.

There is a reason why...he's stinkin it up.

Are you kidding? So you want 2 defense that can play big minutes for your bag of spare parts? The players you are offering has negative value. Like I said, your team has no one to offer us.

I bet you I could name at least 30 defensemen better than Frankenstein Phaneuf.
- Reveen

First of all, no you can't. Second of all, based on your trade proposal, you need to shut up and let the big kids talk, son.

I have my own opinions, don't stir up anything here.

oh man....
- SpoiledByOil

Phil Kessel, playing with Lupul gets sixth in the league in scoring.

Eberle, with a shooting percentage that is not maintainable, and playhing with Hall, Hopkins, and with Hemsky, Gagner taking some of the heat off, still manages less points.


Seriously, if you think Anyone on Edmonton is, at this point in their career, any where close to the skill level and utter dominance of Phil Kessel then I have to ask, why do you even comment on hockey? If you won't admit facts then your opinions mean nothing.

see original Phaneuf deal
- Reveen

I think everyone can agree that we fleeced Calgary on that trade.

see original Phaneuf deal
- Reveen

So your logic is that because Calgary is an utterly ridiculous organization, that the Leafs should just give away their best player? Should Pittsburgh unload James Neale for someone like Goligoski?

Hey maybe the Leafs can trade Gunnerson for him, right?

Take a breather bud...seems like your brain is about to melt

Phaneuf is a loser, always has been & always will be.

My brother played in Europe & played with a guy who played Junior in Red Deer with Dion & said the entire team hated him. Horrible attitude, a "me" player & disrespected everyone.

Then he goes to Calgary & why was he dealt - again the dressing room couldn't stand him.

Why anyone would want this guy on their team is beyond me.
- newmy

NHLers cant stand him either. At the All star game when ever he would come around all the other guys would make comments and walk away. Even Kessel. Dion is a tool and is not well liked by anyone.

First of all, no you can't. Second of all, based on your trade proposal, you need to shut up and let the big kids talk, son.
