I'm sure Gillis and Nonis are having extensive discussions..........

Gillis and Nonis ever talking trade again

I think Ek reads the Leafs blog for inspiration...which is total foolishness since we are all (frank)ing crazy

Dion as a depth signing in LA would be incredible - taking the pressure off of him to be the number one would let him be the great player that he can be. I don't know if LA can put a package together for him though; I doubt they would give up Muzzin...

cap is going up, sign him and move on..

Bet you didn't see it when Komisarek left the habs lolz

all part of the master plan, Leafs signed him to a beautiful 4yrs contract where he showed his true value

Trade him somewhere so that will give him an opportunity to win a cup.

Dion is a good defenseman ,that will get paid either way.Toronto will not get back what they need to if they trade him so..7 years at 7 per .

In a perfect world, the wings would trade a prospect or a couple picks to get him

then he signs an extension here for 5 years 30-33 mil

I assume he signs with Toronto for alot more than that, hes good, but not Elite, anything more than 6.5 a year is an elite D man.

Bye bye, Dion... Don't let the door hit you in your forehead on your way out!

exactly, 7 yrs 52.5M

salary cap will be over 75M in 2yrs...

The leafs should try to sign him, but if i am the only big name d-man entering the 2014 fa class, then i would see what my value is worth on the open market.

5 years at 7 per and we have a deal I say keep him - he's been a beast this year.

Flyers are the perfect partner here imo.

Phaneuf for Couturier +

Depends who they get on the blue line to replace him.

Without him the D is in complete shambles... even more than now
- MasWE

I am tempted to agree.

I wonder though if what this D really needs is time, and a more coherent team defensive strategy.

The Leafs have a number of good, young D prospects. They may not be as far away as we think.

Hire a couple decent defensive, veteran D, nothing flashy, short term... we might be better off long term.

well after the last trade between these two clubs don't know if Philli would want to deal with Toronto for a while.

I'm sure Gillis and Nonis are having extensive discussions..........

Restaurants? Ferry schedules?

8 year 8 mil. With the cap going up they should spend every penny on him!!!

the leafs would be done without dion.

True and finishing last place doesn't necessarily equal results.

- BlowMonkey

That would be a steal on term for the leafs,maybe they should look at a higher salary shorter term type of contract.Say 5 years at 8 mill.

He can't sign for 8yrs, he was drafted by Calgary.

Edit: Nope...he can get 8yrs dumbass

I would trade Gorges for him.

That would give Mtl the most impressive D in the league.

Markov - Subban
Phaneuf - Emelin

exactly, 7 yrs (he can't get 8yrs), 52.5M

salary cap will be over 75M in 2yrs...
- Symba007

Sure he can...Kessel got 8
