Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports:

Don't dismiss the talk about Maple Leafs' captain Dion Phaneuf being dealt to the Wings, there were serious discussions between the two teams. Those talks were so deep that even Leafs' president Brendan Shanahan may have been involved with his former team at one point with GM Dave Nonis to see if the deal could come to fruition.

With talks going nowhere, the belief is Wings' GM Ken Holland felt it would be better for both sides if they revisited this trade in the off-season and that's why he made the deal for New Jersey blueline Marek Zidlicky.

"What usually happens is these trades get too big to do at the deadline," said a league executive.

"It's OK for the Leafs because they're going nowhere this year and trying to rebuild. The Wings have something pretty good going."

If the Sharks played in Toronto, and missed the playoffs this year, the media would definitely say the Marleau whiff was the main reason for it. (doesn't matter if they win this game or not)
