Re: Ottawa Senators
I read Travis Yosts's article on TSN today suggesting a 3 way deal could see Phaneuf getting shipped out and Methot getting sent back. My question is...why all the talk about trading Phaneuf? They came within a goal of the Stanley Cup final. I know Phaneuf's price tag is heavy, but I don't see why they are so eager to send him out. I suppose if it means getting Methot back they might do it, but my concern is management contributing to an atmosphere where Phaneuf feels unwelcome and is blamed for doing something he had every right to do.
Yost opined that Edmonton may be a target for Phaneuf, though I don't know if they will want to take on his salary given that Draisatl and McJesus' contract negotations are right around the corner.
Perhaps it's pure speculation by Yost (which is fine), but I thought I'd ask you local fans what the buzz in the city is. Is everyone clamoring to get rid of Dion?
