Relyt Krets Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Nashville gets: Phil Kessel Dion Phaneuf Toronto gets: Craig Smith Taylor Beck Mattias Ekholm Gabriel Bourque 2015 first rd 2016 second rd Nashville gets an upgrade for there playoff run. Seeing as how David Poile likes Kessel. Also gives them a good top 4 D. Jones, Weber, Phanuef and Josi. For Toronto ia shakes up the core and brings in younger players who are supposed to be good prospects as well as some trading chips to rebuild the core. Its a stagnant core and even though in playoff position something has to give. Can also make Franken the top D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ya know, I'd say that this is the year that Nashville would make that kind of move because of their amazing team this year thus far. Except Poille is cheap, ownership won't allow him to eat that much cap in 2 single players and Poille also wouldn't gut his team for two guys who wouldn't ever suit or fit the hardworking preds mentality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But say they were to add just Kessel. Give up less and it would make them a contender more then they are now to have Kessel amd Neal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 That's a terrible trade for the leafs. And yeah, what would Nashville even do with Phaneuf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give up less and it would make them a contender more then they are now to have Kessel amd Neal Poille has a solid team USA connection with Kessel no doubt, and he'd be an easy sell to a market needing offensive superstars. But then there's that cap issue, Poilles cheap ways and messing up the make up of a team that is already doing so well that they have little to no use for a 1 dimensional player. I just don't see Poille having any interest in that unless he can swing a deal that sees him gaining more than just Kessel via cap retention or a solid prospect coming back to Nash for eating that contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Not even Nashville can fix Phaneuf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Not even Nashville can fix Phaneuf. Remember the Phaneuf - Weber pair at the '05 World Juniors? I do agree Toronto could get a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hate Phaneuf, If your top D pairing was Weber/Phaneuf with Ellis Jones as your 2nd pairing... Not to mention you have Kessel Neal and Forsberg. With Pekke Rinne in net. The Preds would get the cup before the Canucks with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toews Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Kessel/Van Reimsdyk to Nashville makes sense. Phaneuf does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
