RJ8812 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sens get Phaneuf, Frattin, Bailey, Rupert and Donaghey in exchange for Cowen, Greening, Michalek, Lindberg and 2nd-rounder in 2017. Toronto basically gives Phaneuf away for nothing, which I guess they just wanted to get rid of his contract no salary retain anywhere either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Wow! I'm shocked! I don't really know any of the players we got, but it does look like they didn't place much value on Dion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer4ever Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Blupuk, YOU didn't get anything, the Leaf organization got Greening and a pick for Phaneuf and some scraps. Cowen may develop, may not. I'm sure Phaneuf will be on his way west before I finish typing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Ewing Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 The Sens will have to see which Dion Phaneuf they get in the deal... Phaneuf with Jake Gardiner: 50% GF, 53% Corsi, 57% Corsi Against Phaneuf without Gardiner: 28% GF, 47% Corsi, 64% Corsi Against My money is on the one that they'll regret trading for; the one that doesn't get to play with Jake Gardiner. Nice trade for Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 You might be right @flyer4ever, this could be just part of a bigger deal. Either way, I'm sorry to see Dion go, he's a good player and was a good Leaf (just my opinion I know). I HATE the cap...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the Leafs were able to move him without retaining a penny in salary is strong work from Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Got rid of the contract which makes this a win for the Leafs. IF Ottawa keeps him, it gives them a nice piece to go with a young inexperienced defense (other than Karlsson) as they hope to make a run. But as others have mentioned, it may be part of a bigger deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm guessing Phaneuf isn't a Lou Shanahan type of player, eh? Trading your captain two years into a seven-year deal? Homeriffic! Phaneuf also has a modified NTC so he approved going to Ottawa. Maybe now he'll smile in his team photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had said before the season the Leafs: Would get rid of Kessel Add Babs Add a front office that seems to have a plan rather than just throwing a dart Got rid of Phaneuf Positioned themselves for a run at Stamkos I would have said no way. I don't care about the record, best season for Toronto in a loooooonng time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michalek is a winger who can score a little but father time is catching up. injured right now, I bet he is dealt before the deadline. Greening is a winger with a bad work ethic but decent talent. Sent to Birminham to shape up instead he sulked his way out of Ottawa. talented tho, Babs may find something. Cowen was the 9th pick in the draft in 2009 and still trying to get established. a hard hitting stay at home d-man with ZERO offensive ability. the big thing you got was out from under 5 more years of a bad contract. good deal.
