Not sure I believe the Phaneuf to DET rumour but the longer both TOR and DET go without making any deals the more I start to think it has legzzzzzzzzz.

TSN keeps saying "talks are ongoing", but of course they have to keep viewers. 

Also rumors of Kessel or Eberle to Habs in a huge package...grain of salt here.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Bernier to San Jose might be a good fit.

 

[ZBBM]

If both Kessel and Phaneuf go today, it would be the best day I ever had.

Well, except for when I got that pony on my 25th birthday.

Kessel or Eberle? Like, they're not sure who? Or it's a 3-way?

That sounds totally made up.

Well they're both scoring wingers and Habs need goal scorers.  I would take it as one or the other based on how expensive the package is for the player.

One report:

The possible deal would see the Leafs get (Brendan) Smith and forward Stephen Weiss in a deal for Phaneuf with the Red Wings assuming the remaining six years on Phaneuf?s deal at $7 million per season.

[Tigger]

Smith and Weiss? Meh, wait til the draft it that's it.

Smith and Weiss? Meh, wait til the draft it that's it.

Don't like the "retaining $2M in salary" either.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

$2mil? eehhhhhh. Maybe call it $1mil for Weiss, 1st rounder and a prospect. That would be the absolute minimum package I would accept. If we're eating money AND taking a contract back Phaneuf should have pretty good value. I would probably prefer to just not retain anything and take a smaller package in return.

Weiss, Booth and Horton all on the same team!  Woo hoo Florida Panthers of 2009!

 

[Chris]

If the Leafs were to retain $2 mil of Phaneuf's salary, that means Det is getting him at below market value. So the package coming back would have to be a lot better than what I'm seeing listed. Especially if we have to take on Weiss.

 

[L K]

So in that hypothetical deal the Leafs ship out Phaneuf and his 7M in contract and take back 2M in retention, 4.9M in Weiss and a fairly mediocre player in Brendan Smith.  Yeah, no thanks.

 

[pmrules]

Brendan Smith - 26 year old with a career high of 19 points? 

And Weiss - a 30+ centre with 19 points and term?

And they are asking us to retain salary too?

This can't be the deal for Dion Phaneuf - can it?  If so, I keep him.

It's likely the last 2 or 3 years of Phaneuf's contract that scare teams. If his deal was shorter he'd be a lot more attractive.

I think the idea is that those aspects are just to get Detroit to the table. They would then be a 1st and prospects or something else involved.
