It sort of, ever so slightly reminds me of when Phaneuf started being run out of town in Calgary when his play dropped off (I know their was some locker room stuff also). And yes, I realize that #1 centers don't grow on trees and are rarely moved, however if there was EVER a time since he was drafted that Staal might be moved, I would guess the chances now are the best they've ever been.
If the Leafs could get him in a Phaneuf type deal, I'd be all over it, but, with the Canes likely looking for fair value for him based on how he's played in the past (which, right now, is still justifiable), the cost likely outweighs the benefit.
Agreed, but the 'Canes penchant for acquiring former Leafs players gets the mind humming.
Staal has been really, really bad this year, but I would guess a guy named Colborne would have to be included in any trade like that.
