Stamkos is with Nike just like Ovi and Phagoof.
Poor Phagoof

I thought Bailey was.
Probably Bailey or Rupert but they'd be lucky to ever break the NHL imo
Basically AHL fodder
According to Craig Button, Bailey and Donaghey are C-level prospects, the rest are career AHLers. He also rates Lindberg as a B-level prospect, which sounds about right.
Maybe Bailey. I dunno. None of them really look like anything but 4th liners at best
Yeah, and that ceiling is from a hobbit's house.
I think you underestimate how bad Ottawa's D has been this season...
And I think you're selling Phaneuf pretty short as well.
Leafs aren't done dumping, there's no way Sens can outtank the Leafs, not with Karlsson on the team.
This guy with his shitty takes again.
I can't see how Dion helps that problem tbh >_>
Have you seen the laffs lineup for tonight's game?
Grabner - Kadri - Komarov
Winnik - Spaling - Leivo
Holland - Arcobello - Parenteau
Clune - Froese - Boyes
Hunwick - Rielly
Gardiner - Polak
Marincin - Corrado
It is honestly pitiful, and there are still UFAs like PAP that are going to be traded
Well I'm pretty sure most Leafs fans would have disagreed with your viewpoint before the trade(and would disagree with it even now).

Tripling his endorsements would really only result in Stamkos largely coming out even, because with taxes and the Lightning's ability to offer him an extra year, he'd be making more money over the life of his contract in Tampa than he would in Toronto, even if the Leafs offer him more money.

If the Sens can land Phaneuf for mostly scraps, surely the Canucks can do something with a Weber, Prust, Higgins package deal.
Lots of talk about Hamhuis to the Capitals (Orpik's health is a mystery). Some (Canucks fans mostly) are hoping for Bowey coming back but it isn't the same management group that traded Forsberg. Then again, the Caps could seriously go all the way this year and it may be worth giving up a 1st+.
Also heard Hamhuis was pretty good in his first game back. A gold medalist and solid veteran depth could be worth a lot to a contender.

I forgot Lindberg was a Gen. That's awesome.
Also thought Bailey had some potential when they signed him, and he was the one I was sad to see go.

I think it's pretty easy to tell who here has watched Sens games this year and who hasn't.
Think of the worst defensive performance you've seen in the NHL, Ottawa is that, but 5x worse on a game by game basis.
We just received a massive upgrade on D today, even if Dion is 1/5th the player he was at his best.
Edit: you know your defence is bad when you're missing Eric fucking Gryba back there
Dion is primed to take over as Captain anyway.
So the Rangers play the Flyers again on Sunday. Tanner Glass is already amped up for it:
In the meantime, Evgeni Malkin is out for the rest of the week. That seems to be the only encouraging piece of news about tomorrow night's game. Why is this the first time we're playing the goddamned Penguins? Why couldn't we have played them back at the start of the season when they sucked?!
You tell 'em, Acting Captain (in my heart) Tanner Glass!

He did, and still does, but he's 24 and producing very poorly on the best team in the AHL. His time is running out quick.
Leafs got fleeced
IRL GMs breaking the game.
"This proposal you have in front of me is flat out insulting!"

Any chance that the Leafs will be able to ship out any of Ottawa's cap dump this deadline or will nobody touch those guys because they are still under contract next year?

How long are we stuck with these guys contract wise? Cowen likely until the end of the year, that other guy is injured, and then Greening. He's not half bad, and will be okay for now.
I don't think they can move any of them
Cowen should interest some people in the off-season because of the way his deal is structured, if you buy him out it actually gives you cap relief in the current year.
All their contracts expire at the end of the 2016/2017 season.
I feel that Cowen might be bought out this summer for the weird cap credit thing, or perhaps traded to a cap team that could use that credit
Greening will be buried in the AHL, or maybe even the ECHL
Michalek traded at next years TDL for a pick/prospect, hopefully.

His Tanksi is high.

Honesty I see the necessity of this trade for the Leafs future but I'm sad to see Dion go. He was always a good player taking the flak for a bad team and you could tell he really wanted to succeed as captain here. It's not his fault management gave him a bad contract.
:lol

He sounds excited.
Glad we're not taking on long contracts. Makes this deal much better.
Haha. This is going to be great.

goddamn looooooooooooooool
Lmaoo some wishful thinking there. I don't think he can even be an AHL top pairing guy.
