Phaneuf is overpaid but Ottawa sent junk to Toronto so it's like the Leafs/Flames trade all over again. Nobody wins, nobody loses.

Sens have a lot of term and money committed to Ryan and Phaneuf. Would make me nervous

I truly hope there's another deal in the works, as I agree Phaneufs' contract is not something Ottawa needs, BUT they sent two bad contracts to toronto, two contracts that were NOT in the lineup regularly.

ya it's tough enough icing a solid team with just one overpaid guy let alone two. michalek and cowen are both a waste of cap though so at least phaneuf can chew up 20 minutes a game. i get why both teams made the trade. toronto is thinking long term and ottawa wanted someone that can actually play hockey a bit right now.

You forget Greening, he can help the marlies.

It makes the Sens better now, but the long term risk is pretty big. For the Leafs, I think it's a slam dunk. Clear of that money by 2017-18, which is probably when they want to start their upswing.

They'll now have the cap space, going forward, to sign Both Stamkos & Tavares when they become UFAs.

Can't wait until he re-signs and we hear the collective sigh from Toronto

Canes will have to spend at least $11 million to reach the cap floor next year.

They'll make an offer.

No. (frank) Detroit. Send him west.

- BINGO!

You think Staal comes back?

Only if he takes less money.

He's alright as a 2nd line LW or whatever, but that's it.

If he's back it's because he wants to be back, not because Francis thinks the Canes need him.

What if he takes a deal similar to Thornton?

that'd kind of be like dopps asking natalie portman on a date but with a lot less pepper spray

Natalie Portman would go on a date with him for $10 million.

- PhillySportsGuy

He's not worth what Joe Thornton is making.

I wouldn't offer him more than $5.5 Million.

His brother is outproducing him.

staal, ward, and skinner's decline has been fun to watch. sorry
