Icon37 Sens trade Phaneuf (25% retained) + Thompson to LA for Gaborik and Shore



Was pulled from the game. Kings have been rumored to have interest

That'll make the Kings defense better... but slower still.

The Kings won't be in the playoffs. Reeks of desperation.

So the Kings are imploding and trade for a guy that had his best years under the coach they fired over the summer. Okie doke.

Please be the tipping point on the trade market, and that we acquire Hoffman tomorrow.

Save us Hoff, you’re our PP’s only hope.

I think it'll actually be Galchenyuk the Flames acquire. Purely a feeling.

Whats the point of this? Phaneuf doesnt make the Kings any better, just more expensive and slower.

You'd think the Kings would have learned their lesson about Boat-Anchor Contracts by now that they would be absolutely desperate to not only refuse to acquire more of them but actively work at ridding themselves of the ones they already have.

Dion Phaneuf is like the League's 'Hot Potato' hes got a contract that nobody wants to touch.

Good Lord, just go and look at his stats sheet....it reads like a Horror novel.

Should have done it last year when they had Iginla and Sutter.

Considering they live in PEI in the offseason, and set for life based on what they've earned over the past 15 years, safe to say acting isn't the top of her priority list anymore.

With Regher before that. Bouwmeester is going to be a King next year.

FWIW, doesn't appear the Kings have pulled any of their players from their game, so doesn't look a dressed player is going back the other way. Likely picks and/or prospects.

So lets see here....the Sens are notoriously cheap so I doubt they're retaining salary, but by the same token they likely want Dion gone so the price isnt likely to be all that high.

So....my Lord! Hes got 3 more years on that salary? Oh hell no....

Do it LA....help us out by sewering your own roster and sucking for the next few years!

Dion in the Division? That can only be good for us!

Gaborik always kills the Flames. Glad he's out of the conference now.
