digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 So the Leafs just traded their 2nd leading scorer (Stajan), their 4th leading scorer (Hagman) and their second highest scoring d-man for an overpriced d-man who has fewer points than Ian White...and a lot of Leafs fans like the trade?Hahahahahahahaahahahahah!!!!!!!

Boston must be pissed. Link to post Share on other sites
bdc30 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I think this trade will cement them in to the bottom 3 this year. As Zach said, who the hell is going to play forward now? This isn't about this year, and that's why I actually think it's a good trade for them.

00Lenny 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Not sure what's not to like about this trade. We've dumped like....half of one of the worst rosters in the league on other teams and picked up good players in return while unloading a couple of huge, underachieving contracts in the process (Blake+Toskola). We got a guy who is great on the PK in Sjostrom (Which we needed desperately), a great defenceman in Phaneuf (who has more upside than any other player in the deal), AND a great prospect in the 6'6" Aulie. And we dumped Mayers. Pretty much..........don't see a downside? Link to post Share on other sites

Sure dumping Blake and Toskala is good, but who's gonna score for this team? Hagman was 4th on the team in scoring and Stajan was 2nd. The Leafs are in a perpetual state of mediocrity and this trade doesn't really change that. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 He's the second highest scoring d-man on the Leafs I was talking about.i dont think if you can sell the fact you think Ian White is a better defenceman than Dion Phaneuf..Good luck with that theory..Half a season doesnt make him Bobby Orr..PLUS he is a free agent.

Phaneuf definitely has more potential but White has played better this season. And you always talk about how potential doesn't mean anything. And yes, White is a free agent, but will he cost as much as Phaneuf gets paid? Link to post Share on other sites
00Lenny 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Phaneuf was done in Calgary, this deal shows that Sutter couldn't wait to shuttle his ass out. And really, I'm not worried about our scoring. Prior to Kessel, our last sniper was Mogilny. Yet the Leafs always put up plenty of goals. How many goals do Stajan and Hagman have so far? How many do you think they'll end up with? I think the answer you'll find is "Not enough to make a difference".What's our #1 problem been this entire season? Scoring, or getting scored on? Hint: It ain't scoring. Link to post Share on other sites

Phanouef is overated and softer than people think but he is still a very good D man. Link to post Share on other sites

Now that hes no longer a Leaf hes apparently turned back to being "underrated". Leafs get the best player in the deal, aswell as the best prospect. Stajan and Mayers were most likely gone after the season anyway...with White being an RFA due for a big raise. Hagman would probably have been dealt for something along the lines of a 2nd round pick. Best case scenerio the Leafs could of got another 2nd for Stajan and maybe a 4th for Mayers. So with deadline values thats Phaneuf, Aulie, and Sjostrom for White, 2nd, 2nd, 4th. Lets not forget Aulie is not a bad prospect and only 20. Link to post Share on other sites

WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Phaneuf has been bad, but I still think this is a great trade for the Leafs. If he gets back on track he could be one of the 5 best D in the NHL. Link to post Share on other sites
