Another Defenseman Off the Market

TSN reports that the Calgary Flames have traded defenseman Dion Phaneuf to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

...with the Flames scouting the Rangers recently I thought the Blueshirts may be in the mix for Phaneuf, but Calgary officials must have come to their senses and said why would we want anyone from this terrible team.

...with Souray going down with a broken hand there are going to be slim pickings if the Rangers are interested in upgrading their defense at the trade deadline.

ESPN reports that the Maple Leafs have also acquired goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere from the Ducks.

Seeing the Leafs at least try to improve their roster (they still don't have anyone to put the puck in the net) just aggravates me even more when I look at the Rangers. If Sather could make a couple of moves to get a couple of younger guys. And still be competitive in the playoff race.
With Upshall out in Phx, how about trying to send Prospal out there for Peter Mueller or something.
