The Maple Leafs got robbed by the Flames imo. They traded their best center (Stajan), their second-best Winger (Hagman), a very solid defenseman (Ian White) and their one ‘tough guy’ (Jamal Mayers). That’s a very hefty price to pay for a defenseman that has a lot of lacks offensively and who consistently is known for throwing the puck away.

Giguere is not what he once was and with his completely preposterous salary, I can only imagine they are going to restructure it and give him a long-term deal, which I either way think is a horrible idea, especially when you consider how maddening inconsistent he has been the last few seasons.

There’s no “restructuring”.

I like the JS trade for them – Anything was an upgrade over Toskalol.
the Phaneuf trade – I feel that the Flames win overall, although if Phaneuf steps it up and starts playing like he did 2 years ago then that would even things out.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Shows the faith the Leaves and Burke have in “The Monster”
First Kessel, now this… Phaneuf will probably love it in Toronto, and get paired with Komiserik, which would be beastly, but mistake prone.
Jiggy is a good pickup, but expensive…

Fatang Fatang.
