Leaf Rumours

to be perfectly honest... i'm not sure i agree that keith is a superstar #1 defenseman.

though they have seabrooke
 
Phaneuf for Yakupov and the 7th if Monahan is still there.

The Oil get a no 1 alberta boy defenseman,

If he isn't then there aren't that many in the league....

meh.

he's a really high risk high reward player.

he's fast but he isn't a very good skater. he isn't awfully physical.

effective but having seabrook has covered up a lot of his warts.

still think he's a top pairing guy and one of the best in the league.

i'm just not sure i'd rank him up there with chara, weber, suter, phaneuf and a few others.
 
no he isn't an excellent skater. dude's a really ugly skater.

he's fast

but he isn't a very good skater. look at how often he gets crossed up turning around. not a good skater. just fast.

but no, not overrating seabrooke an dunderrating keith.

seabrook is a better, smarter player on his side o the ice.

as for phaneuf vs keith.. i just don't know what keith is better. he'se a faster skater. but that's it.

offensively phaneuf has been better, except for his weird 1-2 year dip and keith's weird 1 year 69 point season.

defensively... phaneuf makes far fewer mistakes. he's better physically. he's bigger, too.

don't get me wrong. keith's a great defenseman. i just dont' think he's th ebona fide #1 a lot of people seem to think he is (or like i thought he was before watching some a few extra hawks games this year).

Edmonton hangs up phone.

Edmonton isn't necessarily the deepest down the middle themselves... and if the deal is Gagner, then they lose their number 2 centre. They have a glut of wingers that they will eventually have to pay... and a major glut of right wingers. Eberle, Hemsky, and Yakupov. They signed Eberle and Hall to 6 mill long term deals, and RNH will need a pay raise soon as well.

Yakupov looks like someone who wasn't super happy to be in the Oil....

In Phaneuf they get their number one, Alberta boy, that they can resign at a contract that Phaneuf would be happy with yet that no other team will re up him with.

I only could see this if the leafs are reassured they get their man at the 7th.
 
With the money that Phaneuf is going to be wanting next season ... I don't think he is worth it.
I don't see him as a 7 million dollar dman.
By trading him you free up his cap space and the negotiations for next season, and focus on Kessel and getting him signed.
I think that his minutes can be picked up by committee at the start of the season. Gardiner and Franson, Gunnerson and ? will have to pick up the other 23 minutes each. Liles (with powerplay time) can be counted on for 14 minutes as well as Frasier/?
 
^ That would be insane. Not to say the value is far off, but damn it would suck to lose out best defender.

I actually think we might make a trade to bring someone with a hefty contract.

Something along the lines of Nik Kulemin + Jake Gardiner for Kris Letang.

That is a guy that is due a huge contract and Pitts may not be able to afford it with the recent extensions to Malkin and Crosby.
 
Phaneuf is very, very underrated. He is our #1 guy. There's no playoffs next year without him. I understand the contract issue, however, you need a back-up if you're moving him.
 
And the Sam Gagner talk im on the fence about. With Nazem Kadri we have a similar player. Though i would wager Gagner on a line with Kessel and Lupul will score more points than Bozak.

Aren't you the guy who needs to go out in the hot sun and run all day? And Mindzeye, the reason I didn't mention Gagner is no matter how many NHL players I stuff into LOTE at 1.45 and have it go to 26.65 in six weeks(just recently) they all beg off posting on this forum. And laugh at me for continuing to educate la molle and give la molle some insights. In their minds? Fans? The worst of human population.

Not one congratulations on posting some salient trade information before all the buffoons on the internet here, once again. I told you many, many times, Tanenbaum gave Nonis an order, get me an NHL PLAYOFF goaltender.

Best call of 2013 by a long shot. And nuthin. What a place.

Again for the 10% here that are cool. And who like outside the triangle and copy and paste information. Phaneuf and Gardiner are in full on play. Gardiner for the seventh, Leafs have to ADD to get that deal done. A second,first and Gardiner so far.

If their interaction with you is anything like ours, I'm not surprised they feel that way.

This stuff does intrigue me though.....does teeds know full well he's lying, or does he legitimately believe he's "called" thing when it's painfully obvious he hasn't.



Mental illness or trolling.


...knowing the answer to that is still mildly interesting, to me.
