Flames/Maple Leafs Trade

[ponokareefer]

I'm a believer in that, whoever ends up with the best player in a trade, usually wins the trade. This helps the Flames in terms of cap relief, and gets rid of a player that is underachieving, but I still think Toronto will end up as the winner. If this is the first trade for Calgary, and there is better things to come prior to the deadline, then they might make out well.
As from Toronto's perspective, they get a former, very promising defenseman. Will he return to that form though? I have never been much of a Phanuef fan though. Too many bricks short of a full load.
