Kessel for S. Jones, 2015 1st, and a 2015 2nd.

Phaneuf, Granberg for D. Nurse and 2015 2nd.

Discuss.

Pfft, I'm going to be in Ottawa in a few weeks. I can breathe the fresh air of freedom and the artery clogging taste of French Canadian Poontang. Well, actually it's Ottawa...so shawarma.
- AdamFrench

Fixed!

There's always the east end, in Vanier!

So glad Ovi is on my fantasy team, cause Phanoof and Gardiner are killing me.
- YzermanIsTheMan

Why you you take him.

Nope.

here's the thing: We can move Dion, and not retain salary.

It may be not the greatest return but it is doable, no matter what anyone thinks.

retaining would be insanely stupid with the direction we are headed (shedding salary and loading up with picks and prospects)

Any deal to take on another bad contract or retain any salary is a step backwards
- TheThrill

Then there will be no deal.

I've got Phaneuf, Rinne, Malkin...le sigh.

As well, Nonis went to see Richards play his 1st game in the AHL. Obviously there is some interest.
- Champ

Apparently, trip was booked for that game, before Richards was sent down. Either way, I don't Richards in TO, more bad Karma. Start fresh.

Oh, this is our thread chum, so discussing will be done... and plenty of it.

Key word there is apparently, I think.

And, completely agree. Basically the complete opposite of what this team needs right now in terms of moves.

Poile: NO! Hangs up the phone!

MacT: Well let me speak to Lowe. But at the end of the day it is a NO!

I made a trade. Subban + Ward for Ovi and Phanoof. We had a person making an all black team.

a date at The Works?

Id do it...Richardinson is the real deal. He will be a great top 6 two way winger in the NHL.
- Santo_44

Not for retained salary AND taking on Horcoff's contract.

This is how we end up in our current situation. We want other team's assets so badly, we put ourselves in a terrible position just to obtain them.

How about we offload contracts for picks and prospects and develop our OWN guys? Novel concept, I know. But - and get THIS - if we have too many, then WE can trade them away for other teams who will put THEMSELVES in the bad position to obtain them.

Sort of like what the Leafs always do, but the opposite. Might be worth thinking about

Injury central. Erik Johnson is also on mine, my d-corp got rocked with injuries lately.

Then there will be no deal.
- Iggysbff

Maybe not with Edmonton

There will be a team willing to take on Phaneuf's entire contact. To think otherwise is insane

They might have to retain some salary to get good value, but definitely no need to take on Horcoff.

Those three were my biggest fantasy point producers. As much as I'm not a fan of Phaneuf, he racks in the fantasy points.
