    @ The Captain:
    My 2010 Free Agent List

    Plekanec
    Conroy
    Armstrong

    I like Bourque too but think he is probably going to be over paid. Same for Armstrong but I think he might be worth it. If not, Aaron Asham might be a good energy guy to have on the third. Conroy would be good for his leadership and versatility.

    Wilson says Wallin wasn’t given a fair chance, so his ice time will go up. I don’t think we see any call ups. Mitchell will be in also. Perhaps Stalberg but that’s it.

    Kabs, Komi, Phanuef, Beauch and Schenn are some nice names. If all five can play to their potential we have the best D in the league.

    Don’t forget Gunner, I think he is quietly becoming one of our most reliable, if not best, defencemen, especially given the limited amount of games he has played. I believe I heard last night that he had only played 16 NHL games up until last night? If so, the upside for this kid is terrific. I think we arguably have one of the best three pair defence lineups in the league.

    No more playing time for Exelby and Finger when Komisarek returns.

    I bet Komisarek gets shut down for the season for shoulder surgery.

    I have to say, I do not like this deal. I feel Dion Phaneuf is just a name that is overrated (6.5m!? are you kidding me?). Sure it’s nice to dump some of the dead weight, but I really thought Ian White would be the Leafs next PMD at a cheaper price than Kaberle. Dion will be the new McCabe with that contract.

    Dion is bigger better and badder than McCabe ever was, sure he makes mistakes, but so did McCabe, without bringing any of the intangibles that Phaneuf does. You thought McCabe-Kaberele was a great pp tandem, wait till Phaneuf-Kaberle, just give it a chance.

    @ B Leaf:
    are you on heavy narcotics or something??…. this deal is an easy win for us. Throw mayers out as he woulda been traded for a bag of pucks and this is a laughable trade… we have a cornerstone D man, a speedy young checker who can kill penalties and a top Dman prospect who played with tyler Myers at the 2009 wjc..
    on our end it’s sad to see Whitey go, but he’s hit his peak while Phaneuf has some much more upside.. White just looked better on most nights because he was actually one of maybe a couple players who played with Consistency. Stajan and Hagman??… if dealt individually we would’ve got very little for them.

    Wow what a day…. I’m speechless. Cant believe Dion is a Leaf and we managed to ship out both Toskala and Blake.
