Guest Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Quote The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded veteran defenceman and captain Dion Phaneuf to the Ottawa Senators in a nine player deal. Along with Phaneuf, the Leafs send forwards Matt Frattin, Casey Bailey, Ryan Rupert and defence prospect Cody Donaghey to the Senators in exchange for defenceman Jared Cowen, forwards Colin Greening, Milan Michalek and Tobias Lindberg as well as Ottawa’s second-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. No salary will be retained by either team over the trade’s entirety. Phaneuf, 30, has three goals and 24 points assists in 51 games with the Leafs this season. He has five years remaining on a seven-year contract he signed two seasons ago worth an average annual value of $7 million. Originally selected ninth overall by the Calgary Flames in 2003, Phaneuf has scored 120 goals and 424 points in 801 career games with the Flames and Maple Leafs. Toronto acquired Phaneuf from Calgary in a seven-player blockbuster in January of 2010 and he was named the 18th captain in franchise history prior to the 2010-11 season. Michalek has appeared in 32 games this season for the Senators and has six goals and four assists along with 12 penalty minutes and a plus-1 rating. He was drafted in the first round, sixth overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks. Cowen, 25, has played 37 games for the Senators this season and has four assists and a plus-7 rating. http://www.tsn.ca/maple-leafs-deal-d-phaneuf-to-senators-in-nine-player-trade-1.435458 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sure he could. So it comes down to this for the 8 teams needing top 4 D men in their playoff runs. Hamhuis at his cap. Yandle at his cap (maybe) or Phaneuf... Kinda liking our odds for cashing in on hamhuis now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Phaneuf is a much better D than credited for here on CDC. But Lou was also pretty good; and his contract sucked! We all know how that story ended... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 He should've been traded a long time ago. Nothing against him, Toronto just needs to dump the past and move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
