You're in oil fan smert reah. I would venture into Leaf areas if I were you. At least you get to take the helmet off by doing so.

Go win a cup in a league with more then 5 more teams then come back and speak.

they're moving him because he's overpaid and not that good but EDM should trade for him because he's got a great contract and he's great

Well hang on here, mr oil fahn smert gigh.

Who said we're trading Phaneuf? Ekland?

Well Ekland also said the Oilers have interest.

You're picking and choosing what to take out of the media reports. Goof.

Phaneuf sooks and is gahrahbage but the Oilers want to trade a kings ransom for him. jejejejajajaja

See how this works in oil fan smertness? Im sure you don't.

So why are Leafs trying to move him if he is a top Dman with a good contract?
- vancouverdawg

This. This. This.

If Phaneuf is worth a 3rd overall pick, then don't move him! It's a step back. You should be moving your 8th overall pick to get him a better partner.

What will he get for a contract??
- nbboy

I would hope it's a bridge contract close to $3 mil per for two years

What will he get for a contract??
- nbboy

That's the thing- what he is worth and what he gets are very different... I would say he is worth 2 mill as a dman and 5.5 mill as a fwd

This. This. This.

If Phaneuf is worth a 3rd overall pick, then don't move him! It's a step back. You should be moving your 8th overall pick to get him a better partner.

Who said we are though? Same people saying we are also point to the Oilers. So why are the Oilers trying to get Phaneuf? If Phaneuf isn't worth it, then dont make a move for him!

Stop looking at this from just one side of the spectrum. Either the rumours are true or they aren't. Stop deciding to make it half true, half bullpoop.

But we have basically been awarding 6 mill for 5 yrs or more to every kid injured or not- points or not -and jultz is a money hungry female dog who cant play defense so... we either trade him or sign him and he will be wanting money or will hold out... he is trouble plain and simple- just like he was from the start with Anaheim...

I'd rfa shultz so bad.

They currently haven't made a move.....

Again this is an Ek rumor... how many of these come to fruition??? quit the opposite really.... if anything he goes to anyone but Edmonton from now on...

I love it Ek. Brilliant.

Get all the Oiler fans crying, whining and butt hurting.

Well this is the point of the thread though. Not that I believe Eklund. Hypothetical.

Nobody is denying that Phaneuf is an upgrade for the Oilers. What we are arguing against is his value

I think my smiley face and joy over your guys defensiveness didn't rub you the right way, huh?

LOL HAHAHAHAHAHA buffalo is so bad there isn't anyone good enough to be considered overrated.

IT is sad that the leafs re-signed him for that dollar and term amount only to use as trade bait what 2-3 months later tho...

- ystoil

Then do that. But don't act like it's up to you to accept or walk away from a deal.

Stop getting angry and emotional when someone expects more than you're willing to part with him. Calm down.
