Phaneuf to the Leafs

pucks, did i just read you said 100 pts for stajan

70 at best career yr IMHO

 You fuckin serious ?  Just walks right in and changes everyones music ?  Wow what a douche I see how that could hamper your playoff push. 

Its funny people always loved Phaneuf, but now that he is in Toronto everyone is saying what a piece of shit he is. All you haters just remember when your team comes to are town one of your players just might get knocked the fuck out

Again the Phaneuf trade was made by Burke to save his ass with the deal he made for Kessel! Remember the Bruins could end up with the number one pick in Hall or Seguin. The Leafs again trading away youth to get Kessel. Burke has done nothing to improve the Leafs if he doesn't build through the draft. He basically got Phaneuf to say to the Leaf fans we lost out on Hall and Seguin but Phaneuf was a first rounder. Calgary had to make a deal and who you going to move your best asset on the blueline yet he wasn't the best defenseman on the the roster anymore he was brutal in his own end. Phaneuf makes 6.5 million a year for the next four if i am correct. Now the leafs have Kaberle, Phaneuf, Schenn, Komisarek, Finger, Exelby and Beauchemin who without Pronger or Niedermayer playing beside looks brutal! The forwards are Kessel and that's right no one else so how are the Leafs better. If they are better they might be better because Phaneuf can open ice hit better than anyone! I love Phaneuf he just hasn't been the same in the last year something isn't right. I hope for the Leaf fans Calgary can once again help your team like we did in the Gilmour steal! I would love to see the Leafs win a cup i just hope it happens in my lifetime.

I was not talking about any of this shit anyways. I was just saying that everyone is shiting on Phaneuf now that he is in T.O when the fact is that everyone would love to have him on there team.

I wouldn't want him on my team.  Locker room cancer (seriously how can you beef with Robyn Regher)

Hasn't shown anything since his rookie campaign.

You are labelling him a franchise player for reasons I know not....what a silly title for a guy who was the #5 guy on Cgy's D-line.

If he is their franchise player then there is no end in sight.

All they did was put another big bruiser dummy on the Dline.  In the new NHL, these big lugs can't hang with the little speedsters anymore.  Komisarek and Schenn have not been able to keep up with the pace and are often in the penalty box because of it.

Ian White has more points this season.

+7 over last two seasons playing with the worst defensive team in the league.  Phaneuf -8 on a much more defensively sound team with better goaltending.

Ian White can play the wing when needed, and can play both the PK and PP.

Now you look at the salary difference.

Now you look at the fact you just gave up a consistent 25-30 goal scorer in Hagman, and a decent 3rd liner (60 points) in Stajan.

Great, by all accounts Phaneuf is a younger version of Brian McCabe

Now how excited can Leaf's nation be with that assesment?

BRIAN McCABE people!!! who all us Leaf fans would BOO off the ice everytime he touched the puck

Hopefully Phaneuf won't score as many goals into his own net as McCabe did

Brian Burke is a GENIOUS

Rookie year 49 points

2nd year 50

3rd 60

4th 47

White is having his best year every getting alot of minutes and all of a sudden hes better then Phaneuf 

And stajan OMG he has never hit 60 points ever you make sound like he can get 60 playing on the 3rd line he got 55 last year playing first line minutes and 33 the year before playing 2nd line minute.

Please dont try to educate me on my team maybe me spelling but not my team.

Well said MLBguru in hockey the chemistry in the dressing room is huge and Phaneuf and Regher couldn't co exist anymore Regher hated Phaneuf!

I didn't say anything about your spelling.

Phaneuf is not a forward, so why are you pointing out his offensive stats?

He is a useless defender(which is where the Leafs struggle) a minus rating on a winning club....has been pegged as a poor decision maker (exactly what the Leafs need right?)

I never said White is better than Phaneuf...simply pointing out he does the same job practically, for a fraction of the cost.

And when you add Stajan (50 points even is still a decent player) and a 25-30 goal scorer...there is really no case you can make for this being a good trade.

Regher tries to give the kid pointers and tips, but Phaneuf thinks he's the man. 

Regher has always been a great player and a class act...if you can't co-exist with him you have issues.

I can see Beauchemin and Phaneuf going at it in practice.

MLBguru

only reason ian white is a plus is because he doesnt play against the other teams top 2 lines, shit id be a plus if all i saw was 3rd and 4th liners. i don't know what any of you see in any of these guys. give white 25 minutes and put him on against top lines and he would be a big minus, so dont give me this crap that white was our best Dman. and he wouldnt have 9 goals either.

give it time calgary fans you will be saying what a bunch of bums you got in this trade.

where was all this firepower last night, between the 4 guys i think they had 1 shot on goal, get used to that. all stajan did was slow iginla down.

thornton6

actually id rather have kessel, hes a potential 50 goal man tayler hall may be a bust, he may be great but who knows, but what we do know is kessel is only 22 and he has alot of years left and hes the sniper that we havnt seen in toronto for along time. once we get a top center kessel will be a 50 goal man,

Your excuse for why he is a plus rating is weak.

And now you base judgements on their 1st game on a new team.

Can't wait to see Giggy and Phaneuf exposed tonight.

Kessel 50 goal guy

Keep dreaming bud....hasn't broken 30 yet but now you're tacking on 20 goals.

The guy doesn't do anything...no backchecking, doesn't block shots, etc.
