The Score is reporting the Maple Leafs are shopping Dion Phaneuf

And if Homer was still at the helm I bet there would be 500 different trade offers from us already. I dont think Hexy is going to pursue that one. Though if they were willing to take Vinny, full contract and all, I might just listen.

Laughton, 1st and Vinny for Phaneuf? Money and contracts aside that would be a pretty solid hockey trade both ways. I would have to think about that a bit.

It was.

Luckily, I just went into the backyard and burned about 15 lbs of EVERYTHING that had to do with this last semester.

Fire make me feel better. Fire and music.

Yeah man, I've been done since May 1st. Got home May 3rd.

Since then, I've been an unpaid intern at a Ma and Pa pharmacy in my home town. Need to fulfill 120 hours, then do this dumb portfolio poop sometime in December. After the rotation I can go back to the hospital and actually get paid though. Yayyyyyyy

I don't know what his new cap it is for his new contract but I have to admit I have a little interest. Mile interesting.

Does it even matter if he bounces back? Even if he does, I don't see where he fits in going forward.

Well, he's our second line center after we dump Bust Schenn...right?

Nah, too much for me unless TO is willing to eat 1 mil of the contract per year.

Please let's stay far away from Phaneuff... He is not would we need. Not to mention 7 year deal. Leafs are going to have to eat at least 2 million a year.

They are saying on Sports radio Toronto that if a deal was to happen it would probably be a west team involved.

I would have no problem with Phanuef at a lower cap hit. His current cap hit makes him 'undesirable'.

If they put together a small deal that included VL then it could work. I feel like they're desperate to do something. They may just give phaneuf away to appease the fan base

I seriously doubt they do anything for the fan base. Are they listening to offers? Sure. But they won't sell super low.

I agree. I just think a little more highly of phaneuf than most. If he went to a team that didn't require him to wear a letter or play against the toughest level of competition in the nhl, he'd look better

I'd happily take Phaneuf...he's not a captain but he is a good defenseman. He faces brutal competition, plays a ton of minutes and is in a horrid situation in Toronto.

Exactly

Pair him with Coburn and you have a legit top pair.
