I don't care about hockey but what is the equivalent of the Phaneuf trade?

 

[Sammy225]

Thats a lot of players... You take our s*** and we will take yours

[TRM]

Is anyone in this any good?

Who wins the trade?

[Sammy225]

Toronto gets rid of Phenuef and Ottawa gets rid of Cowen i don't know if either are a whole lot better after this or not.

[BTS]

Phaneuf for all of Ottawa's garbage.

[burlingtonbandit]

Don't get this trade from Ottawa's perspective. Phaneuf makes a bad team less bad while giving away futures and taking on a contract that is bad and will be horrible in 2-3 years.

[Dylan]

2nd + lindberg, rest of the crap gone after next year.

 

I like this. bring on stamkos!?

[Laika]

Phaneuf is either a non-asset or a negative value piece, so it makes sense if it's just all garbage. Toronto sneaking an Ottawa 2nd rounder into the trade might be the only value.

Don't get this trade from Ottawa's perspective. Phaneuf makes a bad team worse while giving away futures and taking on a contract that is bad and will be horrible in 2-3 years.

Is phaneuf really that bad?

[Cyborg]

Is phaneuf really that bad?

He's likely below replacement yes.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

Leafs made a sweet deal!

 

Cleaning up after Nonis!

[TRM]

He's likely below replacement yes.

 

thx.

[Cyborg]

thx.

Takes bad shots, takes bad penalties, doesn't draw penalties, and is awful at defending.

Well he's certainly better than Cowen and Boro lol. Still an awful trade. Sure Ottawa traded crap but all of their contracts were expiring next year anyway, not to mention you could have bought out Cowen and Greening. The worst part though is Ottawa still isn't a contender or even a playoff team after this trade so the short term value you gain literally has no value.

 

Getting Lindberg and a 2nd is just icing for Toronto.

My thanks wasn't flippant, and I also appreciate the further context.

I'd rather have Cowen.

[Zaun of the Dead]

I love the move. Dion is probably gonna play a lot better in Ottawa.

[burlingtonbandit]

I'd rather have Cowen.

 

Well yeah cuz Toronto is going to buy him out this offseason so you rid yourself of the contract.

[Cyborg]

Ya they're both really bad. Cowen is likely replacement while Phaneuf is below.

[Sammy225]

Ya they're both really bad. Cowen is likely replacement while Phaneuf is below.

 

I was just going to say. They are both Useless but Cowen costs less.

[BTS]

I'm so happy that I don't follow hockey anymore and this can't be outraged.

[Sammy225]

Its easier following the WHL/CHL because you don't have to worry about contracts.

[BTS]

Ottawa fans on HF are thrilled, even though they've been s***ing on Phaneuf for like 6 years. Holy f*** I hate hockey.

[burlingtonbandit]

Ya they're both really bad. Cowen is likely replacement while Phaneuf is below.

 

You overestimate Cowen lol. He's one of the worst defenceman in the NHL. Like to the point where I'd be surprised if he's still in the NHL in 3 years, he's that bad. Zero awareness and can't make a pass to save his life.

[burlingtonbandit]

HF Boards is so bad lol.

LOL I'm reading the thread. They are ecstatic.

[BTS]

HF Boards is so bad lol.

 

Everyone keeps calling him a top-4 D. I have no idea whether that's true, but I tend to believe that Cyborg is right and they're all dumn.

[Laika]

"Like, pretend Phaneuf made $5.5-6mil per year. Would you trade a 2nd rounder and Lindberg for that? HELL YES YOU WOULD. That's basically what we did here."

 

"That thread about Murray's legacy? Close it. This is it."

 

They are posting their top 4 and fapping over Karlsson-Method, Ceci-Phaneuf. lmao

[King]

This is the worst 9 player trade I've ever seen
