Default Sens Acquire Phaneuf in 9 Player Trade

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

News Release: Senators acquire defenceman Dion Phaneuf from Toronto in nine-player trade

OTTAWA – The Ottawa Senators (@Senators) announced today that the club has acquired defenceman Dion Phaneuf, forward Matt Frattin, forward Casey Bailey, forward Ryan Rupert and defence prospect Cody Donaghey from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for defenceman Jared Cowen, forwards Colin Greening, Milan Michalek and Tobias Lindberg as well as Ottawa’s second-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. No salary will be retained by either team over the trade’s entirety.
http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=867872

Sportsnet Stats ‏@SNstats 6m6 minutes ago Dion Phaneuf is the first #Leafs Captain to be traded since Doug Gilmour was traded to the #NJDevils in 1997.


Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 5m5 minutes ago
Phaneuf did not have to technically ``waive'' his modified NTC; the Senators were on his 10-team list where he'd accept a trade.


Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris 19m19 minutes ago
Former #sens goalie Robin Lehner says he's blown away by the idea of Dion Phaneuf going to Ottawa. "Tell them I say 'wow."'

April Fools?

Why would they help out their rivals by doing that?

The Senators have front row seats to see the Leafs. It's like the Oilers trading with the Flames for Wideman. Why would they want Phaneuf on that contract? Is Murray going mad?

What is it with Phaneuf being traded in big deals involving lots of junk players? I suppose the Senator get an NHL top 4 defenseman for little in the way of solid assets but surely the Oilers could have offered the Leafs more?

Wow is about all I can say. Sens tweet that no salary was retained either way. Toronto has Phaneuf off the books.

EDIT: Actually the tweet says "No salary will retained by either team over the trade's entirey." I originally read that to mean no salary at all is retained but the wording makes it sound like it also could mean, "Toronto retains one year of Phaneuf's salary at 50% then nothing after." Not sure if something like that is allowed or if the retention has to be over the entirety of the remaining contract. I'm probably trying to read way too much into this. The wording just seems weird.
