			Hank now 4 points up on Ovie for the points race, at 78.  Thornton is falling off the map at 68.  He's also only two assists ahead of Hank.  
We also still have three of the top five in plus/minus - Burrows +30, Ehrhoff and Hank at +27.  
Danny now in a 3-way tie for the lead in game-winning goals (three, tied with Malone and Heatley)  
And yes, Monster is the league leader for SHG

	        |     Dion Phaneuf trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs!   Quote:    
			
				Two teams in dire need of a shakeup have done just that.   
The Calgary Flames have traded defenceman Dion Phaneuf, forward Fredrik Sjostrom, and prospect defenceman Keith Aulie to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forwards Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman, Jamal Mayers and defenceman Ian White.   
The Maple Leafs and Flames have been working on the components of this blockbuster for a week to ten days, but sources say the details of the deal didn't fall into place until late last night.   
"[Phaneuf is] a warrior. He's got a cannon for a shot," explained Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke on Sunday. "He plays the game hard and I want players who play the game hard because they're hard to play against."   
Phaneuf has two goals over his last three games and is signed through the 2013-14 season ($6.5 million per). He had 18:49 TOI last night, only the third time this month he's been under 20 minutes in a game. The big defenceman has 10 goals and 12 assists to go with a minus-3 rating over his 55 games.   
Sjostrom has played 46 games with one goal and five assists for Calgary this season. Aulie was drafted in the fourth round, 116th overall of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. He had spent this season with the Abbotsford Heat of the AHL.   
Hagman has 20 goals and 13 assists, while Stajan has 16 goals and 25 assists, each over 55 games this season. Both players have a minus-3 rating. Mayers had expressed interest in being traded earlier in January. He had two goals, six assists and 78 penalty minutes over his 44 games with the Maple Leafs this season. White had nine goals, 17 assists and a plus-1 rating over his 56 games.   
The Flames were mired in its worst slump (0-6-3) since an 11-game losing streak in 1986 before getting on the winning side of the tracks on Saturday night with a 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in the Battle of Alberta.   
The Maple Leafs are coming off a dramatic loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday evening, giving up a three-goal first period lead before falling 5-3. With the loss, coupled with Carolina's 4-2 victory over Chicago, Toronto now sits 29th in the NHL standings.   
The Hurricanes and Leafs are tied in points with 45 but Carolina is ahead because of more wins.

			This deal works well for Calgary.  They have a good goaltender and still have a number 1 dman in Jay bouwmeester and have gotten rid of a virus in the dressing room..  And now they have added some depth.  We will see....

Hagman if he was healthy all season and injury free would be good as well (this, of course, is no guarantee in the west). White is a good young D that has played great.   
So all in all, not BAD but it definitely isn't very good. It was a salary dump so what can you really expect.  
Something else interesting!    Quote:    
			
				The Toronto Maple Leafs and Anaheim Ducks are currently working on details of a trade that would see veteran goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere traded to the Maple Leafs in exchange for Vesa Toskala and potentially another player.   
Giguere needs to waive his no-trade clause in order for the deal to go through, and it is believed to be the only thing holding up the deal.   
The most valuable player of the 2003 Stanley Cup playoffs, Giguere recently lost his starting job to netminder Jonas Hiller.   
Hiller inked a four-year, $18-million extension on Saturday, which cleared the way to trade Giguere and his one year, $7 million contract.   
Toskala is making $4 million this season but is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

			HAHAHAHAHAH!  Oh man, the Flames got burned with this trade.  Salary dump?  Well, doesn't matter.  If that's the case, it is still a terrible trade if no picks or at least a promising prospect are involved.  If it's a salary dump, then they basically gave Phaneuf away.  Sutter must be smoking some good shit.  Say what you what about Celine Dion but he's worth more than Toronto's garbage.   
Giggy to the Leafs...that is definitely a salary dump after the Ducks signed Hiller.  Toskala is making $4m but is a UFA after this year and this relieves the Ducks of Giggy's $6m+.

			Giggy to the Leafs for Toskala and Jason Blake.  Uhhh...that's $6m+ for a $8m+ cap hit...although I think Blake is on for another year?   
Burke is starting what he did in Anaheim.  Dumping dead weight.

				The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired veteran goaltender Jean-Sebastien from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for goaltender Vesa Toskala and veteran forward Jason Blake.   
The most valuable player of the 2003 Stanley Cup playoffs, Giguere needed to waive his no-trade clause in order for the deal to go through.   
Giguere recently lost his starting job to netminder Jonas Hiller, who inked a four-year, $18-million extension on Saturday, which cleared the way for the trade.   
Giguere has a one year, $7 million contract remaining while Toskala is making $4 million this season but is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.   
Blake, 36, has struggled playing for the blue and white this season, posting just 10 goals and 26 points in 55 games. The Moorhead, MN native signed with the Maple Leafs as an unrestricted free agent in 2007 and has 50 goals and 141 points in that span.

			Looking at it closer, the players the Leafs got...they've got more points than just about everyone on the Flames roster short of Iginla and Rene Bourque.  However, if they don't work out AND resign, this is a terrible trade.  Stajan and White are young enough that they haven't hit their prime.
