Oh, I do. And other teams' games.

Which makes me laugh even harder at Dion haters.

Remember guys, if you don't think Dions worth top 5 money in the league you HATE HIM!

Okay, so how are they better after that?

Dont worry about it, this guy never makes any sense.

they're not getting anyone. They've already got a guy who's got one of the best goals against/60, while facing the toughest competition in the NHL, who hits, blocks shots, puts up points, an does it all without any help.

If the Leafs are in talks with Rangers...I hope its for McDonagh....but I doubt it.
What Garrison? Do you think vancouver would part with him? He certainly could help cover up some of Dion's mistakes.

Depends what you talking about. Defensively there are 50 better guys at least. Offensively probly 15-20.
- aminnes



There are 50 guys in the NHL who can handle Dion's responsibilities as in going against the top line every night playing the most minutes of anyone on the team and still have a pretty good +/-? Wrong.

Who's a hater...just pointing out the truth. Something you Dion circle jerkers just dont get.
- Fakepartofme

Truth is Dion is a #1 d-man on most teams in the league.

If he was on any other team, we'd be clamouring about how he's the guy we need.


But hey, this wouldn't be the Leafs fanbase if we weren't trying to run our stars out of town.

Why would the Rangers want to get rid of McDonagh?

FYI, if the guys who are listed above him were UFA they would then move ahead of him in salary. It's not Phaneuf's fault he became UFA when he did. How much do you think Chara would be asking for? Weber is making like 12M this year Not taking enough into account here.

I love how because the club gives him too much responsibility it means he should get said responsibility.

I don't know, has it been decided yet?

And lets be honest, when has hockey Canada ever decided to ice the best line-up available?

But he's not that affective at it.
+/- really means nothing.

In a few years, Phaneuf will be a bargain contract as the cap and cap hits keep going up.

Every single year people say the same things about big money contracts, only to refer to them a few years later as better deals than what that crop of UFAs will be getting.


It's like inflation is a foreign concept around here.

No, that I do not agree with. And, I am not saying he is terrible. He is just not top 5 in the league. So, he should not be paid like he is.

That is my point.
