Richard Cloutier: Are you a Phan of Phaneuf?

You weren't right about Perron. All you did was re-write what Stauffer had tweeted and claim it as your own

Richard Cloutier: Are you a Phan of Phaneuf?

Great Blog, Phaneuf would instantly become our best d man, I like ur pairings too.

smid and hemsky is a fair deal. tossing very capable d man smid for 1 yr of phaneuf is not worth it, as it stands he's our no3 dman.. t.o probably makes this deal tho.

can we get him without smid?

I heard alittle bity about Perron from here and their.... didn't think blues would deal with us. but I guess we have some history

(frank) Phaneuf. If we were to get a dman from toronto, I want Franson. We have nobody on our backend with a blistering shot like his. Our PP is good now but with that shot wow.

So your ready to deal us Darnell Nurse and a first? Or maybe Taylor Hall and a second for Phaneuf? He isn't coming free, so good luck trying to send us nothing back, in return.

Now you're trolling dude. Not cool. The Smid/Hemsky offer was a troll in itself so I half forgive you.

Even if he was getting traded to Edmonton it would not be for 2 Europeans. I don't know if you have seen but the Leafs currently (without gunner being signed) have 1 EUROPEAN. Hemsky and Smid are czech too. If anyone were to come to toronto it would be a Swede. So that deal would never happen.

And this is exactly what I was talking about. Laughable.

Taylor Hall is worth more than any asset on the leafs. Get your head out of your ass. 6 years of Hall>1 year of Phaneuf. And its not even remotely close.

And Smid & Hemsky for Phaneuf isn't?

I'd say Kessel and Hall are close, edge goes to Hall simply because I see a possible Art Ross in his future.

And Smid & Hemsky for Phaneuf isn't?
- mykokes

Nope.

Ummm, no. Read back over my blogs.
- Maxbone

I have read them. Stauffer tweeted it a week before it happened. You read it there just like everybody else.

Phaneuf isn't going anywhere unless someone is willing to overpay. the leafs have no blue line physicality without him

Enough of this crap.....there aren't many 40 point 200 hit top pairing d-men in the NHL. I know the popular thing is to rip guys that show the slightest dent in their own armour, but the poop Phaneuf does, ie. carry 2 AHL d-men through last season, and still finish in the top 10 in virtually every d-man category is very underated. Smid is a decent defensive d-men, but I can name 30 better ones off the top of my head, how many d-men can you name that score 40 points and get 200 hits?

Nope.

Then I guess we disagree.

then the deal is dead, he's ur captain and ur no1? ouch

Is he coming to Edmonton or not?

I would love for you guys to list the only NHL d-men that have avg as many points and hits, atoi the last two seasons, please include their salaries too.

Hall is locked up for 6 years. Kessel has 1 year left before he walks because you guys can't get anyone better than Tyler Bozak to center his line. If I'm Nonis, I'm doing anything and everything to bring Joe Thorton there. With him as the setup man, Kessel gets 40+ every year.
