This is straight from HockeyBuzz...
 

Dion Phaneuf - Leafs are trying to move him, and are getting some calls on him as well. The Sharks, Panthers and Hurricanes are the 3 teams I'm hearing that have interest in him. Keep hearing Eric Staal's name in there for a possible Phaneuf deal. If he's not moved by draft he'll remain a Leaf.

I really don't like this trade, but if it happened it would have to be an over-payment for me.

 

Toronto Receives: Eric Staal, Patrick Dwyer

Carolina Receives: Dion Phaneuf, Nazem Kadri, and Joffrey Lupul

 

The roster would look like...

 

Jeff Skinner - Nazem Kadri - Alexander Semin

??? - Jordan Staal - Elias Lindholm

Joffrey Lupul - Riley Nash - ???

??? - ??? - ???

 

Free Agents: Drayson Bowman, Radek Dvorak, Nathan Gerbe, Andrei Loktionov, Manny Malhotra, Jiri Tlusty

 

Andrej Sekera - Dion Phaneuf

Justin Faulk - ???

John Michael-Liles - Jay Harrison

Ryan Murphy

 

Free Agents: Brett Bellemore, Ron Hainsey, Mike Komisarek, Joni Pitkanen

 

Anton Khudobin

Cam Ward

 

Free Agents: Justin Peters

No need to start a new thread but Gormley of CSN Washington thinks Edmonton would part with Sam Gagner or Nail Yakupov for Eric Staal.

 

In my opinion it would take both from the Canes perspective. Staal is being vastly underrated by many. He is a 0.89 point per game player... compare that to Phil Kessel who is widely considered on the U.S.'s best hockey players who is a 0.78 point per game player.

 

For me, it would have to be Gagner and Yakupov for Staal for a top six of...

 

Skinner - Yakupov - Semin

Gagner - J. Staal - Lindholm

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
