No, he doesn't want to play for the Leafs. We should respect him for that...the Leafs and Habs are supposed to hate each other. Shanahan should know this.

He doesn't want to play for any Canadian team. No canadian teams on his trade list

Chris Nichols @NicholsOnHockey
LeBrun: Word on the street is Niskanen's camp is looking for six to seven years and north of $6 million per year. 15-17 teams made contact.

Just a thought here but how much do you guys think Phaneuf being on the team and being captain has to do with people not wanting to come here. He's constantly ranked overrated by the players and clearly isn't liked around the league.

NSH trying to deal Michael Del Zotto before 4 ET. If no deal, do they qualify at $2.9M or let him go UFA. Suspect it's latter but not firm.

its not 100% but theres a chance according this, this is about Tax and Athletes, not really politics

and im wrong, Ontario athletes are already among the highest taxed athletes in North America and it could get worse in July

Embarrassing to see the Leafs fall over themselves trying to convince a Habs cast-off to come to Toronto when he doesn't want to.

T.J. Galiardi is not being qualified by CGY. He'll go to UFA.

Who cares about the athletes. There's what? A 100 of them in the Province?

It should actually concern the average person as it's technically an estate tax.
