I'm lucky here in Edmonton that the river valley is deep and there's not as much water, but Calgary and the southern half of the province has really just been beaten... it's pretty crazy to see.

If you're in Edmonton, you ain't lucky

Beer is already cracked

Sorry if I came across harsh.. Trade days around here can be infuriating lol

No worries man, cheers!

Burke got a raw deal here. Bell didn't like his image. That the only reason he's gone.
- 50 Mission Cap

Image is important in business. I thought he would be around for the duration of his contract. He made some good moves but his personality overshadowed his work.

bottom 6 players that can score, a big power forward that can score like JVR, or a PP QB.
- rangerdanger94

We have some decent prospects, and Liles can QB a PP, though has concussion history so has little individual value.

Phaneuf needs to be insulated, not traded. He'd be more effective at 22-24 minutes a night instead of 26 plus.

And I am not a fan of phaenuf by any means but he does log big minutes against the best lines in the NHL. More often than not he does decently

- Atomic Wedgie

It's not that bad here...

So instead of giving Phaneuf someone to play with, we'll trade him and make our D even more weak.

#1 d man legit ones anyway can play more than 21 minutes a game. Dion is a. Solid piece but shouldn't be captain or the undisputed #1 d man.

if toronto trades phaneuf for a top-6 forward, then girardi for jvr.

Frattin=Crabb.

Colborne, Ashton, Gunner to WPG for Byfuglien and Burmistrov

I'd like Dion a lot more at 4-5 mill a season.....

He's more of a 1B d-man than a 1A. Why he gets paid as a 1A is beyond me

Apparently Phaneuf

In seriousness, I have no idea.. what do you need?
- lumlums

I would think the item highest on the Rangers list would be CAP space.

and a GM with a brain.

Sure & I got swamp land in Florida for sale.

Frattin=Crabb.
- ThePresident

Frattin has more offensive upside than Crabb. come on

- 50 Mission Cap

he plays over 21 minutes

Just a thought its a beautiful day in the Toronto area and we are all staring at computer screens?

There is risk on both sides. Therefore prolly a good trade for both sides.
- 50 Mission Cap

True, but you can't argue with Bernier's recent success. I just hope Frattin can rebound next season. We have holes in our bottom six, so the job is there for the taking.

Right on, Sheppy. Right on.

He finished 11th in Norris voting.

But I guess Haterz gotta hate...

No worries man, cheers!

that deal would require the Leafs including someone else who's weighs a bunch... so that the deal wouldn't be so one-sided, apparently big Buf is taking the nick name thing a little to much to heart.

- Sheppy99

Because of the time he signed the contract.

he plays over 21 minutes
- derm10

How much more? Every time they stretch his minutes they pay for it I like Dion a lot, just realize what he is. Leafs ask him to do more than he can.

- 50 Mission Cap

I don't understand why he shouldn't be captain. Please enlighten me because I admit in wearing Alpha9 goggles. I think he's well suited for the role.

- rangerdanger94

I can't see that... I think Phaneuf is safe, but Nonis just wants to let teams know that any deal will be considered

11th best defenceman in the NHL.

Sorry, but you are being ridiculous.
