i sadly went on to HF to read about this after Dreger talked about it (because everything gets posted there) and a lot of Det fans would rather give up Jurco + their 1st instead of Pulk
Would be fine with either scenario.

white isn't very good and coudln't even hold down an NHL job, hagman played like 1 more year after the deal. Stajan is a 3C and the only player left in the deal in the NHL.
Weiss is as good as Stajan, Smith is better than anything else in the deal and Pulk has some really nice offensive upside. A lot of scouts think he has 30G potiential.

Wasn't making any subjective (well ... other than my evals of the players involved) statement about the deal. I know the Pulk is thought of highly in the DET system. Weiss' bloat contact is an issue (injury concerns) IF they could wipe that out, sign me up. I'll admit I have a hard time determining what I think Phaneuf's value is in the NHL. The fucking leafs have just decimated what it should have been; the guy has been put in a position to fail if he wasn't a legit top 15 D man.

Weiss has a terrible contract and Stajan was much more valuable than him at the time. I wouldn't be happy with that return. Phaneuf's NTC where he can list only certain teams he is willing to go to is tying management's hands if they want to move him so it isn't a surprise that they are being asked to take a player no one in the league would want.

Same as Thom, I would be happy with that deal minus Weiss.

i dont think the leafs have any options, it's a bad contract or eat salary. i'd take a bad contract that ends a lot sooner than dions contract.

Weiss was decent getting 4th line minutes.

i'd wager he gets 3rd line Mins in Toronto and that Bozak is traded. Essentially washing each other out.

What? Last I heard was the offer was Brendan Smith straight up for Dion Phaneuf, and Holland backed out because Nonis wouldn't retain salary.

if Pulks & Smith were in the deal Nonis is crazy to have passed up. Even with keeping 1-2M.
With that said, I'd be happy to keep Phaneuf. I do not think he's a problem.

How can you even say that? You cant be a Leafs fan. No leaf or Bruin fan would ever under any circumstance cheer for the Habs. The Sens are so new and irrelevant that there cannot be that much hate. What they have done and the inspiration that Bryan Murray has provided is enough for this fan to be on board!
Lol, much rather cheer for the habs over the sens.
Fuck the senators.

I'd fully support an actual legitimate competitive league for women's hockey. None of this XFL bra and panty bullshit.
I'd rather watch AAA 12 year olds than watch women's hockey. Heck, didn't the woman's Olympic team get spanked by some 14 year olds?

I think you're right Mike.
I can't see many people showing up to those NWHL games. With that said I'm happy for the ladies and hopefully the league does better than I think it will!

Lol cam has hard time understanding how unreasonably exclusive us leafs are. We aren't going to all of a sudden make exceptions and open our hearts for the sake of a heartfelt storyline they had in working up to their current success. Once a cocksucker always a cocksucker sens

Patrick Roy is the reason I don't mind the habs.

Subban and Gallagher for me, i quite like those guys
i dont mind turris in Ottawa, but the rest of the guys i find too much. However i did love the idea of the leafs hiring Paul Mcclean, i guess they interviewed him and wanted him when they fired Randy but he wasn't up to coaching this season after he was fired. They may revisit him in the summer according to Bob Mckenzie this morning on TSN
