Other than the last game i would take back Dion over Bouw anyday. At least we know he will give it his all coming down the stretch.

Has anybody actually seen Toronto this year? They are horrible. They are basically a younger version of the last 2 flames roster. The only difference is that they don't have a goaltender that will win them games and make them 9th-10th place team.

If i was Toronto i would not trade for Loungo. Tank the season and get a good draft pick.
You are missing the terrible intangibles that Phaneuf brings to a team. Locker room morale is a pretty big thing if you want to win.

Also don't forget the guy makes $6.5mil/year. If he makes $2 to $3 mill it would be an entirely different story.
