I don't think the trade was just for the "sake of making a trade".
I think Phaneuf was a problem in the room. His ice time was down with the addition
of JBO and I think he got kinda ****y about it. Now JBO is not having a good year but
he's not hindering us either. If Phaneuf would have "played" and been better then JBO
then I think he would have gotten more ice time. Really if you look at Giordano is playing 10X
better then Phaneuf.
Will Phaneuf return to the form we have seen in the past? who knows time will tell.
Its funny though that Toronto trades away almost all of their scoring and now Blake
gone as well? maybe in a year or 2 this will work out for TO but it won't help much this year.
Yea they may have a better PP but I don't see how these trades will keep the puck out
their net.
