Trizzak Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Phaneuf to Toronto as per TSN. Fan590 reports Toskala to Anaheim for Giguere as well. Neither confirmed yet though. Edited January 31, 2010 by Trizzak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 'Details of who the Flames get in return are still unknown, but when asked if forwards Matt Stajan and Niklas Hagman were main components in the Phaneuf deal, a source told TSN, "it's bigger than that."'

lazy26 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Phaneuf to Toronto as per TSN. Fan590 reports Toskala to Anaheim for Giguere as well. Neither confirmed yet though. Oh f*** me. Now the Habs gotta worry about cheap hits from Phaneuf 6 times a year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 DarrenDreger Phaneuf, Sjostrom and Auley to Toronto for Hagman, Stajan, Mayers and white!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy26 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Probably a good trade for both teams. Calgary gets some scoring depth and Toronto's blueline gets bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsy Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I think Toronto easily got the best player in the trade, wow. Burke is annoying, but that's a gutsy trade. I can think of worse players to be locked into long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Just watched the Burke press conference. He told all the reporters to sit for a few minutes. He left and should be back in a few minutes with a second confirmed trade (probably Giguere). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTH Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 By the way, Burke's press conference can be seen here. http://mapleleafs.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?...16&id=58871 You can watch what he said about the Phaneuf trade, and he should be back momentarily to talk about Giggy.

jetsniper Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Holy shit I don't know why I'm surprised because I said last week if this kept up, Phanuef would be the one to go. I didn't think it'd be in a trade like this though. I thought it'd be for an elite scorer, not a couple of decent ones. Good trade for the Leafs, holding judgment for the Flames. But Phanuef isn't a Flame anymore, woohoo! Awesome news both as an Avs fan AND in my ability to cheer for the Flames.

JacksonJ Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Dang. I had been hoping BG could swing Plex for Regher and Moss. Just wishful thinking I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 So the Giguere deal is a bit different from what was expected. Toronto sends Toskala and Jason Blake to the Ducks just for Giguere. No 1st round pick is coming back for Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsy Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 This demonstrates how no trade clauses are not all that important. I've been to southern california, and I've been to toronto. I know where I'd rather play hockey. Giguere waived his ntc, to go to the last place leafs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most guys would waive a NTC to go somewhere to be a starter again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Here, from the other thread: Higgs is going to CGY so the Flames can make their move for Lecav. Remember all those rumours years ago about Higgsy being the key ingredient that the Bolts wanted for Vinnie? And now the Flames have off-loaded a pile of salary and have acquired at least one asset that the Bolts have coveted in a while. And before you tell me that Higgs sucks, I know. But that doesn't mean Tampa doesn't want him. When the sale of the Bolts gets announced tomorrow, don't be shocked if Lecav becomes a Flamer by late evening. All opinion based on conjecture, I know. But it all seems to be a case of ducks in a row, IMO. Iggy needs a centreman to feed him the puck. Cue the Cav. Though I spose it could be Kovalchuk as well.

jetsniper Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Sutter isn't interested in Kovalchuk because he doesn't think Kovul would stay in Calgary. Of course that was also before he unloaded Jokinen and Phaneuf's contracts. He went into detail about why he didn't want Kovalchuk last week though. I'm gonna be ecstatic if the Flames get Lecavalier though. Man, Sutter is kicking ass and taking names. This is fun to watch. I like this deal too, Jokinen was another huge distraction that wasn't doing anything on the ice. He'd take an extra second to make a decision with the puck and would always get knocked off. He was always standing still as well making it tough on his wingers. We've got about a million Prust clones too and both players coming back are much better. Haven't been a fan of Higgins but I've always liked Kotalik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikz Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Trade call is unlikely tonight. Sounds like the Flames are holding this deal up. Working on why. http://twitter.com/darrendreger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Taking a look at the contracts, and Calgary hasn't really unloaded that much salary. Stajan and Higgins are both free agents after the season, though. It's gonna suck if "expiring contracts" become a valuable trade commodity like in the NBA.
