Has it ever happened that a nation like Québec, separated from another country, and that players who played under the former country played for their newly formed country?

I think Galchenyuk's father did just that. He played for the soviet U-20 younger, and later on played for the Belarus.

So I don't think it would bother for the players who played for Canada. I couldn't say though about Statsny/Pomminville.

Quebec isn't a nation... And yes Galchenyuk's dad did play for Belarus and not the Soviets anymore was... wait for it... because the Soviet Union broke a part and ceased to exist!

Quebec isn't a nation, nor will it ever be. And the answer to the 2nd part is yes i am guessing, the czech repubic maybe some in the ussr when they split, and Peter Nedved played for team Canada in some sort of meaningless international tournament somewhere along the way.

How about a straight up Phaneuf for Stastny? Both 27 this year, both make have a cap hit of 6.5/6.6 million. Both in the top 10-15 stars at their positions. Both have leadership skills but aren't necessary leaders. Both contracts end after the 2013-2014 season.

Or Schenn for Duchene. 21/22 year olds with a ton of potential but could use new starts.

I would do both. If the Leafs are confident about Schultz, Franson and Holzer, it would be smart to trade Phaneuf at peak contractual value, and it's okay to trade Luke if you're getting Duchene.

Maybe Matt Carle (although free agency could run his price up to 4.5-5M) should Burke explore that option, or moving down in the draft and grabbing Trouba to solve any defensive depth issues.
