He didn't give it a lot of thought. I am not sure Oilers want Phanuefs contract at all.

7 mil is a lot to pay for 7 years .

- vancouverdawg


Lots of people hate on Phaneuf. I'm not typically one of those guys. But yes 7 years and 7 mill is a lot. He is a solid #2/3 under the right conditions. I would take him with salary retained for the rest of the contract, say 1.25 retained.

But any deal with Phaneuf likely sends Gagner back. I can't see any 1st rounders being exchanged or any of our top prospects like klef/nurse/marincin

Nurse who was 7th overall in 2013 > 8th overall this year

Phaneuf is not worth a lottery pick

Nope.

Sure there is a chance that Nurse doesn't turn out as expected, but I'd rather take the risk with him than have that hefty contract.

It's not a lottery pick anymore though, it's #3 overall in a draft that doesn't include McDavid.

Why exactly wouldn't they go for Ehroff or Campbell instead?

No one.

Only way Oilers would trade for Phanuef is for Gagner. They would be absolutely crazy to trade anything else.

Leafs move their bad contract ,Oilers move theirs.

Anything else is nonsense and will not happen

Excuse me but solid 2/3 Dmen don't allow 50 shots a night.

He is an overplayed Bieksa

Then they will have extra money to give Nurse Yaks Perron and their third overall a raise.

Absolute crazyness would be trading away both your franchise goaltenders just to bring up an ahl for your starter but who in their right minds would do that!..

No issues acquiring Phaneuf, but not at the expense of Eberle/3rd overall/Klefbom/Nurse

I may be persuaded with Marincin, but I'm on the fence there.

I will say my last thing about that trade.

Phanuefs contract is the new 2014 version of Luongos contract. Expect the same results.

Dion is a decent player but he is a 5 mil Dman not 7

I doubt the Leafs would make a deal with the Oilers involving Phaneuf if one of those assets wasn't coming back. You have to give to get, and contrary to what you hear from disgruntled Leaf fans, and Leaf haters, Dion is far from a salary dump.
