[Speculation] Leafs shopping Dion Phaneuf


Recommended Posts

JVR - Stastny - Kessel

Lupul - Bozak - Clarkson

Kadri - Bolland - Kulemin

Komarov - McClement - Orr

Deadly and deep forward group. Toronto should definetly look into a Phaneuf for Stastny+ deal.

Stastny > Bozak < Grabovski

Stastny gives Toronto a true/borderline top line center

If thats how they view Stastny I guess...his contract ends after this upcoming season anyways...

...thats an all american top line you got going there lol would they really demote Kadri to the third though?

Phaneuf's contract is up after next season as well. Clarkson is a natural RW who the Leafs payed top six $$$ to get him and Kadri is better as a LW. I guess the two could be interchangable but Clarkson on the second line and Kadri on the third just gives them great depth.

They should look for a partner for Phaneuf not to move him.

If they do move him you think they would target a center, and they already overpaid for Bozak to fill that top line spot then if they move Phaneuf to go get someone else what happens to him?

I guess if they go for Stastny:

Lupul - Stastny - Kessel

JVR - Kadri - Clarkson

Kulemin - Bozak - Bolland

Solid top 9, but there defense would be even worse.

Phaneuf for Stastny does make sense. It gives Toronto a top-line center and Colorado a top-2 defenseman. Stastny is bound to leave one way or another with Duchene being locked up and Mackinnon being drafted, although he can play wing. O'Reilly might have to leave too after this holdout.

TML:

JVR - Stastny - Kessel

Lupul - Kadri - Clarkson

Bolland - Bozak - Kulemin

McLaren - McClement - Orr

Gunnarsson - Gardiner

Liles - Franson

Rielly - Holzer

Fraser

Yeah the defense isn't the greatest, maybe they could trade a middle-6 forward for a top-4 defenseman, although Bozak an Clarkson's contracts kind of make the unmovable.

COL:

Landeskog - Duchene - Mackinnon

Tanguay - O'Reilly - Parenteau

McGinn - Mitchell - Downie

McLoed - Vincour/Olver - Bordeleau

Phaneuf - Johnson

Hejda - Barrie

Wilson - Elliott

Hunwick

Definatley improved Colorado, maybe slightly helps Toronto, but COL can include picks/prospects
