[Rumour] Phaneuf, Kadri and 8th overall to Panthers for Jovanovski and 1st overall


Recommended Posts

@IgorSNET590: The rumored #Leafs deal of Phaneuf, Kadri and the 8th to FLA for Jovanovski and 1st overall would look better if franchise centre was avail.

There is a potential trade being rumored around Panthers‬ 1st overall pick and the Toronto ‪Maple Leafs‬.

Florida receives Dion Phaneuf, Nazem Kadri and 2014 8th overall pick.

Toronto receives Ed Jovanovski and 2014 1st overall pick. The Maple Leafs would use the 1st overall pick to select Aaron Ekblad.

omgomgomg let this be true! Kadri and Phaneuf being dealt alone makes this deal worth it. Can't stand watching them play or having them in the blue and white. Especially Kadri. Kids ego is 5x his potential and skill level.

That is actually a decent trade for both sides. Toronto gets a young stud and gets rid of the Phaneuf contract... and Florida gets some immediate help on the blue line and another decent young forward.

Jovo is just a salary dump the other way.

I bet Toronto eats a little retained salary for Phaneuf though.

How is jovo worth anything? So it's kadri and phaneuf too jump 7 spots

Kadri thinks he's the GOAT and wants a hefty payday he has yet to deserve. He hasn't got along well with management for this reason.

As for Phaneuf, that 7M contract being gone makes it worthwhile.

What? Florida should do this.

Jovo is the man... use to be the man... I liked Jovo when he played for Nuck but now is not worth his salary. Go Special Ed Go!

Actually Phaneuf isn't worth his salary either.

If this si true Vancouver cannot match it.

It also means Toronto has shot itself in the foot as they now have NO D man (would rush Ekblad and he'd get destroyed and run out f town) and a team with an already severe lack of center help would be losing their supposed #2 and one of their more offensively gifted players.

Jovo is on his last leg literally...

Ya go for it, van doesn't want to match that

Florida takes this deal and runs off laughing.

I doubt the Leafs do it.

Been speculation all year, that the Panthers would want to draft the most skilled player, whether it's Nylander or Ehler. If that is true, it only makes sense to go down. Though, not sure those 2 guys will be left, at the 8th spot. Pretty sure, they'll be looking at a higher pick than 8th. Rumor, that Calgary is offering 4th overall, a 2nd round pick, and TJ Brodie.

Reinhart won't be drafted 1st overall. It'll be Aaron Ekblad, though he seems himself more of a Drew Doughty, while many scouts argue that he doesn't have that kind of skill and that hes more suited as a shutdown defender. If anything, Bennett is the one, that challenges that first OV pick, not Reinhart.

To me, Ekblad seems like he could be a Shea Weber type.

Huge frame yet mobile, wicked shot, and really no weakness in his game.
