Phaneuf to the Leafs

This is ideal for me!  I hope he's playing on Tuesday night cuz I will be there to watch the Devils send them to 7 straight L's.

Now Phaneuff will be exposed for how garbage he really is

it is confirmed

hagman, white, mayers and stajan

for

phaneuf, auley and sjostrom

if you are calgary why would you do this deal

i didn't think they would be giving up on him i just figured in order to keep phaneuf he would have to be in return

What a terrible terrible trade.

Ian White is your best all around defensive player.  Had a plus rating on the Leafs last two seasons and that's saying something on that team.

Phaneuff is overrated, I don't even think he was ever in contention to be on team Canada.  Glad to see Yzerman and Co. are starting to see how poorly he can play at times.

Prediction time because that's what we do here at Covers.

Phaneuff will be a failure just like Komiserik, Van Ryn, Excelby, Beauchemin,, etc

Giguere wont be able to stop a beachball even though he's a Cup champion.

Toskala will be the most improved goaltender in the league and the Ducks make a successful bid for the playoffs.

Guaranteed prediction:  Burke and Leafs will remain laughing stock of the league.  Gotta love Burke trading away all their youth.  Whatever happened to building thru the draft.  FARCE

Burke wants everybody too forget about the meltdown from last night and have all the attention on this today.

This is too good!

And I thought JFJ was bad Burke

I thought the Leafs had their #1 with the the MONSTER?

Burke is the most overrated GM in the game, the Leafs are an absolute train wreck.  Way to add a D-Man on his way down and a goalie who basically had 1 or 2 years.  Good thing they didnt try to get any skill players, wouldnt want to address that issue.

The Leafs now have three of the most overrated and overpaid defensmen in the league with Phaneuf, Komisarek and Finger.

It is definitley a very big and physical blueline which I am sure Burke loves.

The thing with Phaneuf is he needs someone good to play with and at his salary he should not. Good thing he is only about 25 so he can still improve.

The offense just got even worse, and while the defense got a lot more bruising whether it became better defensively is another question.
