Nonis will be signing his own pink slip if he deals Phaneuf without finding someone to replace his minutes. He is smarter then that

We can agree on this! For all of Dion's warts the guy is a legit top pairing guy on most teams and he can play big/key minutes, getting rid of him without having someone who cna play similar minutes and effectively in all situations would be a deal breaker for Nonis's tenure as GM if you ask me. Gardiner has shown he can play 25-30 mins, but the big question is his defence good enough to play against the big boys of the league and I really doubt it, best to keep Phaneuf for now.
 
But what does "depends on the cap" even mean?

The cap will be going up, unless something dramatic happens. But even if doesn't, they still have plenty of room to fit in an extension.
 
I think you guys are reading into this more than you should be. The caps obviously going up and they resign Dion midseason, Kessel too.

well reimer and phaneuf aren't out yet and if htey are out it'd undoubtedly be for some sort of return.

though i was thinking earlier...

given edmonton's stated desire to address its goaltending, and apparent willingness to deal that pick... could a reimer/21 for dubnyk/7 swap make some sense?
 
Nonis is the patient, wait it out GM. Not the rock the boat and give away your best players GM.

Some of these "ideas" just don't seem like a realistic possibility at all with Nonis in charge.
 
I sure hope he is.

This team took the B's to the dying minutes of game 7. To rip apart the core of the team and change the face significantly would be idiotic.

He needs to think about adding the missing pieces.
 
If Reimer and Phaneuf are traded for air, then yeah, it would definitely hurt us a lot.

Something tells me that's not going to happen though.
 
From Larry brooks. I guess the rumour of lecavalier sparked a conversation

@NYP_Brooksie: NHL has notified GMs that league will not allow player to be traded, amnestied and then re-signed by original club, Post has learned.
 
Mason will likely compete for the starting job with a goalie currently outside the Philadelphia organization.

"We're in the market for goalies," Holmgren said. "How we do it, remains to be seen. There's options out there right now and we'll go at it the best way we can."

Anyone interested in Reimer or Bernier for Couturier?
