laporte15 3 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 Rumor is that Toronto is looking to make a major move & there open to shopping there captain! Should we make an offer? What would it take to get him? I would love to see us make this kind of a move! I just wouldn't include Mantha in the trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Euro_Twins 4,469 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 My apologies bud I'll put it there next time I'm not a mod or anything just thought I'd give you a heads up. I don't think I'd want Phaneuf and his giant cap hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laporte15 3 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 Lol I appreciate it I'm new to this as you can see by my posts! But they were talking about Toronto possibly absorbing some of the cap hit to make it more like a 5 mill year hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nawein 324 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 Even if he is moved and they retain salary and we make an offer, Toronto won't trade him here. They'll move him out west. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,457 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 Maybe Pittsburgh can trade Letang for Phaneuf straight up and then each team can gauge (first hand) how stupid the other's signing was. Just a thought. 1 marcaractac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 I would rather see Holland sign Samuelson to a 10 year extension than have Phaneuf on this team. 4 CaliforniaWingsFan, marcaractac, ahkmed and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 The Leafs are a perfect example of a top - down mess: run by two companies who hate each other, than you have: VP - GM - Ass. GM's - Cap magicians I mean going through this whole process must be an absolute mess and it's difficult to make the right decisions with so many cooks in the ktichen. Man Phaneuf doesn't even have a NTC Nmc clause wow he could easily end up with Edmonton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 no thanks,he's a lefty and Babs doesn't rate him and that contract is for another 6 years. The Wings are doing a deal with the Canadiens not the Leafs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 Article I read said that he was available, but not being actively shopped, and would only be moved to a Western conference team, with the Laffs being willing to eat some salary. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2014/05/12/on-those-phaneuf-trade-rumors/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MabusIncarnate 5,343 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 I'll take it a step further and say Phaneuf is a defensive liability. He is likely being shopped for a reason, he has been getting worse in his own end and the money that comes along with him i'd stay FAR away from him. He only had 31 points in 80 games, which is a lot less than Kronwall put up, and he takes a lot of penalties unnecessarily. I have zero interest in Phaneuf, he's a shadow of the top defenseman he used to be and I don't see the Wings benefiting from his presence at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted May 13, 2014 This guy sucks big time as a leader and number 1. I think he would be a great third defenceman as he can hit and somewhat move the puck and be a small threat offensively. At a 5 mil cap hit i'd be interested without giving up too much. Maybe a defensive prospect and a 2nd.. And that wouldn't be enough so yeah lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,914 Report post Posted May 13, 2014 No thank you. Besides, in the NHL there is something called interdivisional rape. Then there is Detroit rape. Then there are fair trades. They ask for the moon from a divisional rival, they ask for God's only son from Detroit, they accept 1980's Lake Erie from everyone else... 3 TheXym, BadgerBob and Kmahrle83 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
