NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

[Lee]

#Sens get Phaneuf, Frattin, Bailey, Rupert and Donaghey in exchange for Cowen, Greening, Michalek, Lindberg and 2nd-rounder in 2017.

[Lee]

No salary retention

[kyuss]

how do you like the deal buds?

[dave1959]

as a Sens fan

HOLY FUCK!!!

[Arian The Insider]

Bunch of meh coming back and a 2nd. No retention is big though so I'm cool with losing the contract. Maybe Cowen turns into something here

[kimmer]

Disgusting lol

[Nick]

I like Lindberg, 2nd is good & Cowen needs work but size & skating is there.

[Arian The Insider]

Maybe Leafs fans are expecting more but it's tough moving a 7M multi-year deal (5 years?), not to mention mid-season. I think it's a solid move for both teams at first glance.

That's all it was. Losing the contract. Ottawa is going for it and cleaning out the scraps for a semi quality top 4 dman in dion. We did ok considering we didn't pay all that much for Phaneuf to begin with.

If the leafs buy out Cowen they actually get a cap credit next year

[The BBKL Insider]

I like it

[Tony]

As a Sharks fan... I don't care.

[Chuck Norris]

Wow what a deal. Sens get best player but way overpaid but they get rid of a bad contract in Greening. Lindberg is a tough loss to swallow. Leafs dump some shit contracts. Pros and cons both sides.

[Chuck Norris]

As a Sharks fan... I don't care.

And nobody but Sharks fan care about the Sharks)

[Lee]

All 7 of them.

[Shoalzie]

Seems like a decent hockey trade...a little bit of a house-cleaning move from a Leafs perspective. Phaneuf should help the Sens but the Atlantic is a very competitive division right now. They wouldn't put him and Karlsson together, would they?

[dave1959]

nope...he'll play with Ceci

power play perhaps

[The BBKL Insider]

Be interesting to see if cowen can become an NHLer. Hopefully he doesn't continue to suck

if they can get the lead out of his feet, perhaps

and he makes a lot of mental mistakes...I dont think he's the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[kimmer]

I can't get over how excited sens fans are in the Ottawa hfboard section lol
