I just don't see Phaneuf having any trade value with the contract he has. As you can see with the Gagner move yesterday, it is very hard to move under-performing salaries unless you are taking on a similar contract in return or getting nothing in return. I think that with the length and price of his contract Phaneuf is close to immovable for the time being. But I have been surprised before.

Dion will not go anywhere anytime soon. Will be a very long process if so.

Wait till after tomorrow then compare phaneufs contract..

Maybe if the forwards werent out at the red line it would be easier...been one of the biggest problems for years.

That's the other problem of course.

Ritchie v Nylander rankings Mckenzie 6th/9th, Button 16th/9th, Pronman 18th/3rd, THN 9th/6th, McKeen's 9th/8th FC 7th/4th. Why the surprise?

Nylander ranked higher on 5/6

McKenzie says so

I know, just being my Richard self

Is there even 1 guy in that draft class that is sure to be a can't miss star?

Ekblad? Reinhart?

Reminds me of the Gretzky v. Orr debate.

Sonny Milano, ya his stick tricks are pretty unreal. CBJ got him
- peddy-93

thats him.... pretty impressive without skates.

like i said, surprised we didnt draft him. we appear to have the US covered with scouts.

Wonder if the Leafs are kicking tires on Matt Moulsons camp. Obviously would be pricey but a Lupul-Kadri-Moulson line would be nice no?

- Garnie

and he went 10th

You don't like Nonis...so you think Mckenzie's wrong too?

….poorly executed joke.

Don't sign the NMC contracts...teams shouldn't complain when they don't waive.
- Garnie

agree but when a player demands a trade, things are a bit different.

Nikolai Kulemin- first word that comes to mind?

Anyone opposed to bringing back Mason Raymond on a 2-3 yr deal at around 3 mil per? I wouldn't go higher then that but I liked Raymonds game last year

I thought I read he didn't demand a trade...just said he wouldn't be against for the right fit and to help the team?

No? Maybe I read wrong
