Phaneuf Still Being Shopped, Eric Staal Rumored To Be Offered


Recommended Posts

This is straight from HockeyBuzz...
 

Dion Phaneuf - Leafs are trying to move him, and are getting some calls on him as well. The Sharks, Panthers and Hurricanes are the 3 teams I'm hearing that have interest in him. Keep hearing Eric Staal's name in there for a possible Phaneuf deal. If he's not moved by draft he'll remain a Leaf.

I really don't like this trade, but if it happened it would have to be an over-payment for me.

 

Toronto Receives: Eric Staal, Patrick Dwyer

Carolina Receives: Dion Phaneuf, Nazem Kadri, and Joffrey Lupul

 

The roster would look like...

 

Jeff Skinner - Nazem Kadri - Alexander Semin

??? - Jordan Staal - Elias Lindholm

Joffrey Lupul - Riley Nash - ???

??? - ??? - ???

 

Free Agents: Drayson Bowman, Radek Dvorak, Nathan Gerbe, Andrei Loktionov, Manny Malhotra, Jiri Tlusty

 

Andrej Sekera - Dion Phaneuf

Justin Faulk - ???

John Michael-Liles - Jay Harrison

Ryan Murphy

 

Free Agents: Brett Bellemore, Ron Hainsey, Mike Komisarek, Joni Pitkanen

 

Anton Khudobin

Cam Ward

 

Free Agents: Justin Peters

No need to start a new thread but Gormley of CSN Washington thinks Edmonton would part with Sam Gagner or Nail Yakupov for Eric Staal.

 

In my opinion it would take both from the Canes perspective. Staal is being vastly underrated by many. He is a 0.89 point per game player... compare that to Phil Kessel who is widely considered on the U.S.'s best hockey players who is a 0.78 point per game player.

 

For me, it would have to be Gagner and Yakupov for Staal for a top six of...

 

Skinner - Yakupov - Semin

Gagner - J. Staal - Lindholm

    • I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.
    • Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy. 
    • I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
