Well the subtraction of Schenn and Komisarek would be huge I would posit. Anyone with a brain can see that Phaneuf just tanked after he saw Schenn and Komisarek being trotted out for the second half. Phaneuf carried the team in the first half and just dogged it for the second. He thinks of poorly of Schenn and Komisarek as I do. Good for him. I would have tanked and screwed the dog all day myself if I saw those two being played simultaneously.

Current discussion on Vancouver HFtards board:
"Y2K, would you do Kadri, Frattin, 1st, Finn for Luongo, Sauve? Just curious."
"No. I want a guarantee in the deal somewhere, and there's no guarantees there."

There probably won't be a season. These players are out to lunch. The owners want to take them way, way back, and no free agency till 31 again(though they would settle at 29). This is going to be at least one season, possibly another half, before Fehr and the players take it up the arse.

I'm not a Phaneuf backer. Dont think he's the answer on our back end. I'd move his salary and spare parts (bozak) for luongo and kassian in a heartbeat.

By every measure though, he's an elite defender, whether you're a phaneuf "backer" or not.. You don't trade an elite defender for a goalie with that type of a contract, on the back end of his prime and a project power forward.
Your package is significantly more than Vancouver got for Luongo in the first place, before that contract, when he was 27.

That kind of contract is 5.3 per season vs Phaneuf's 6.5 mil per season. We've already gone through ad nauseum why it doesn't make sense for Luongo to even play in the last years of the contract. To me you move an elite player in an area of strength for an elite player in an area of weakness, at a cheaper cap hit.

Liles, Gunnarson, Holzer, Gardiner, Komisarek, Franson.
Looks to me that it just creates another area of weakness,

Burke said it best: "as soon as you trade away a player like Dion Phaneuf, to start looking to try to replace a player like Dion Phaneuf"
There's like 5 guys in the league who can. With that said, it's all moot...Luongo won't cost Phaneuf. The last rumour was Bozak +

Burke wants Luongo bad enough to trade our first oveall pick away with no lottery considerations, that is what ex Leafs who are around the ACC are saying. And they say if he does that, he should get fired before he even does it. And I agree, I would hate him if he did that.
I am NOT a Luongo fan at all btw. I think he is shit. And a choke.

You don't count Reilly?

This year? No.
Would be a nice surprise if he was NHL ready right away, an even nicer surprise if he's an impact defender right away....but you don't bank on that.

No chance that will ever happen. You sure you aren't mistaking ex-Leafs for homeless people?

I don't think it's a good idea to use a guy you drafted 120 days ago as justification to trade your #1 defenseman, even if he's a really terrific prospect. Even if you put him in there, that group is still missing a #1 guy.
