russianswede919293 95 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 Hmm.....in that case its a pretty even trade. However I dont see either team getting much better from this. Agreed, with keeping Kadri its now even trade. Don't see either team being significantly better from it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny Diamonds 25 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 hahaha yeah right at least not in the US they dont care THAT much we'll probably have to wait till the game starts on nbc today but i doubt they will talk about it much anyways, they'll be too busy showing clips of the penguins winning the cup from last year, just watch. I swear almost everytime I turn on the NHL Network during non game hours they have this old ass replay of some game where the leafs score 13 goals on the Wings. They really need to quit living in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 Phaneuf sucks. Atleast Sjostrom is a good pickup for them, he'll help their god-awful PK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingsdiehard13 33 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 2nd deal is supposedly to clear cap space, according to Burke. Can't be Giggy for Toskala if that's the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They really need to quit living in the past. hahaha yeah i know what you mean every time the wings play the kings, the kings broadcast always plays the "stunner at staples" as they call it when they came back to beat the wings, EVERY TIME they can't get over it. just watch today they'll keep replaying clips from the finals last year, because of that i dont even want to watch the game. i always turn away when ever i see it.

Guest ZetterbergFourty Report post Posted January 31, 2010 He has called Pheneuf an elite defenseman around 7 times already. Well, as far as Leaf dmen go, I'd tend to agree with him. Then again, the only elite defenseman i know of is Nick Lidstrom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 The Leafs get hosed. Trade their best center, their second best winger, their second best (cheap) defensemen and some Mayers dude for an overpaid 2nd pairing d-man, a good prospect and a spare part.
