7.15 = signed!

[Mike]

heh he wants 7.1 mil??

That is a very reasonable asking price for a #1 defence-man.

I don't think there are 30 NHL d-men deserving 7mil+ contracts.

btw... google roster submissions yo

Me neither, but Phaneuf is definitely one IMO, assuming the cap goes up as expected

I think Dion fits into the group of 10-12 that do. But we will likely end up giving him 6.7 ish imo.

[Mike]

I'd put him in the 20-30 group. 6.5 I can deal with.

[Robin Hood]

You do not value Phaneuf like he should be, Mike. No WAY he is in the 20-30 range. I challenge you to name 20 "sure things" on D ahead of Phaneuf.

In light of this new evidence I change my opinion.

Please instruct as to the specific number he occupies.

did anyone actually watch the video on sportsnet?

7.1 was a complete guess by kyper - he really doesn't know.

nope, i get most of my hockey news from steve.

[anton]

breaking news: every player in the NHL injured except for Steve's.

[Arian The Insider]

If its sports net it's not real. Probably signs for 6.5 to 6.75 cap hit

[Arian The Insider]

Actually Toronto is desperate I could see him asking north of 7 easily

We are watching a different sport because I am hard pressed to name 10 better, much less 30.

And I thought I did it?

I challenge you to name 25 better defence man. My bet is that a lot of them will be a significant reach on your part.

My brother follows kipper on that tweeter thing,,he forwards me "breaking leaf news"

I told you, top 10-12. No way you can get to 20 IMO. I'd like to see you try

LOL, I literally said the exact same thing before reading this post.

[Arian The Insider]

Ya I thought he was overrated too til these guys told me and I actually counted. He had his mistakes at times but who doesn't. especially with the minutes he plays. We really need another big minute d-man on our team.

Rather easy to name 10 when you actually think about it. However it is hard to name 20. Given the importance of Dion to the Leafs and the fact there aren't many high end defensemen UFA's this year, (markov and boyle who are older and injury prone) I expect Dion to get 7. Do I think that is high, yes, but given everything he is probably worth it.
