We've already got two turnover machines in bieksa and Edler... Phaneuf can stay on the Leafs, I enjoy watching you guys lose.

Wasn't he on the ice for all 4 third period and OT goals in game 7?

Not as much as I enjoyed watching the Canucks get swept.. Or losing to Boston in the finals when your fanbase was planning the parade after being up 2-0 in the series.. Or watching you burn down your city aftwewards

Exactly.
Not the first round...

Alright Dane thats enough standing up for your big brother.

Bottom line is that everybody loves to hate him, but would love him on their team. He's overpaid, sure, but who isn't? He represents similar in terms of value to players such as Bouwmeester, Timmonen, Green, Campbell, Enstrom etc. Sure, he makes the occasional boneheaded play, but he's still putting up good numbers while playing some of the hardest minutes out of anybody in the league.

I love when people quote stats that are objective and rely on a "home team" scorer.

I love when people don't quote stats but expect others to believe that their view is objective

Compared to the last 10 years its (frank)ing beautiful!!!!

Salary dump. They need to sign Kadri, Franson, Fraser and they know they likely won't be resigning him next year anyways.
- Iggysbff

Disagree. We have enough cap space to do that, especially if Liles can be moved. With the cap expected to go up in the coming years, as well as the Leafs getting an additional 2.5 coming off the books in buyouts/retained salary, extending Phaneuf is definitely a possibility. I really don't think he's being shopped.. Depends on how much faith you have in an "E3" I guess..

Well I know that Lou loved both Jay Bou and Dion but always thought he would try to get Jay Bou first.

Yeah, hits and blocks don't count as stats

I love how your window is closing without a cup..

And it didn't count because it was a short season! If they had more games to get ready, the Canucks would have won a playoff game.

You either win the cup, or you don't. You want me to make you a "participant" ribbon for finishing second?

Everybody around here that rips Pha9 as a Leaf would be running out to buy the pajamas as soon as he was on their team.

This. Dion is the closest thing to Scott Stevens the NHL has to offer. End of story. Wouldn't be at all surprised if thats why luo wants him. this is around the same age Stevens became a devil.

Toronto has a MUCH better chance that Vancouver this year, and probably years to come.

Ouch. I love me some Phaneuf but thats stretching it a bit too far....

No, no, it's fine.... They have possibly the best goaltending quartet in the league, they're fine.... [/sarcasm]

I seem to recall a big NJ trade at the draft. Everyone said if you hear about a NJ trade it's made up. NJ does not leak this stuff.

How quickly we forget

You should have your own show.

With the ridonkulous signing of Blowzak, the Leafs' biggest need is a partner for Dion.

Not sure how trading Dion helps this.

Sorry, I don't see a fit here.

Dion is up and down. Not as great as his supporters say and not as bad as his haters say. If you think he is anything like Scott Stevens you must be on "the drugs"!

No, no, it's fine.... They have possibly the best goaltending quartet in the league, they're fine....

seriously, cant really rip on the leafs when your team got swept in the first round and have had the most controversy surrounding your goalie situation for 2 straight years

And when suddenly the Leafs have won more playoff games over the last two years than the 'Nucks....and the Leafs were only in the playoffs once in those two years

Ouch. I love me some Phaneuf but thats stretching it a bit too far....
- lumlums

Lums, re read this and tell me you did it on purpose

And Pha9 is going nowhere, this is crazy talk.

We will be getting Ryan Whitney to play with Dion any day now.
