NHL February 2016 |OT| Parlez-vous tankçais?

I think it's Ottawa, Montreal and Anaheim.....?

I think Bergevin is still in on him

I don't know if 'Bargain Bin' Bergevin will give up what it takes to get him. You guys definitely got the assets to make it happen though if he wants to.

Anaheim has some good young assets mainly on defense they could trade for him too (Theodore, Montour, Larsson)
 
You think hockey execs would top talking about size by now. Very few players that are large use their size effectively on a consistent basis.
 
I don't see Drouin going anywhere at the deadline. At his age and development he won't be an immediate impact player for a contender. Yzerman will also ask for the moon, so no playoff team will give up a roster player for a younger one.

At the draft, all bets are off.

I get the feeling Lou is just pumping him up. He must not have anything else if all that can be complimented is his size.

That said, you know full well the batch of GMs now were part of the size era where clutching and grabbing and frequent stops of play benefitted larger players who couldn't skate.

Pump and dump worked well with Phaneuf might as well start early on Cowen.
 
LMAO Doug MacLean is such a moron

"I would put [Phaneuf] against Zetterberg and Datsyuk, take the pressure off Karlsson"

fantastic idea
 
If Phaneuf wanted to win, why did they ship him off to Ottawa?

Serious question, you'd think they would have tried to pull off a trade to one of the top western teams if he's looking to go on a cup run. Guess Lou just doesn't give a fuck.

The top western teams seem to be somewhat smart so....
 
Shit, bad deflection :(

I doubt Phaneuf even asked for a trade, so I honestly have no idea what you're ranting about.
 
Benning says the Canucks are gonna wait 1-2 weeks to see where the team is in their playoff drive / Matthews tank before beginning to shop Hamhuis.

Ok

That win against the Avs still stings

Babcock himself said that Phaneuf wanted to win now, and that the Leafs weren't ready to win now, indicating that was part of the reasoning for moving him. Obviously it's a bit of word play and they've wanted to get rid of Phaneuf for a while, but still odd for him to make that comment.
