With Randy Carlyle returning with an extension in hand
behind the Leafs bench, the culture change Tim Leiweke
promised at Brendan Shanahans introductory press
conference may come in the form of a trade of the teams
captain. trouba-jets-jersey-c-41/">Jacob Trouba Jersey . TSN
Hockey Insider Darren Dreger addressed the Dion Phaneuf
rumours on TSN Radio 1050 Monday, saying although the
Leafs may not be “shopping” their No. 1 defenceman, he
is not considered untouchable and GM Dave Nonis would be
willing to listen to offers. “The Toronto Maple Leafs
are not shopping him,” Dreger said. “Theyre not
shopping Jake Gardiner and Nazem Kadri, but teams know
that if theres an offer made – or the right offer made
– that Toronto would consider that.” Dreger noted he
had spoken with Nonis over the weekend, with the GM
saying the team isnt engaged in active conversations
regarding Phaneuf, and have not done so since this past
trade deadline. Fellow TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie
also weighed in on the Phaneuf rumours, saying that
although there have not been any recent conversations,
the Leafs would not be opposed to a trade. “I think
under the right circumstances, the Leafs would move him,
and I think at various times over the course of the year
they flirted with that notion, but I dont think right at
this moment, the Toronto Maple Leafs are in a hard-sell
on weve got to get rid of Dion Phaneuf and go in a
different direction, but theyre all ears if somebodys
interested,” McKenzie said. Comparing Phaneufs situation
to the Jason Spezza rumours that have surfaced recently,
both Dreger and McKenzie agree that of the two captains,
Spezza is the more likely candidate to be dealt as the
longtime Senator is reportedly open to a change. Despite
owning a seven-year, $49-million deal that kicks in next
season, the Leafs captain does not have a no-movement
clause, giving GM Dave Nonis the flexibility to
potentially unload him. In reference to the culture
change comments made by Leiweke, The Globe and Mails
James Mirtle said whether its a deal involving Phanuef or
some other pieces on the Leafs roster, change is likely
to happen. “If youre keeping the coach, then something
else has to change, and I dont think theyre just going to
change the assistant coaches,” Mirtle told TSN Radio
1050. “It makes sense to look at what kind of value he
has on the market.” Despite having his detractors,
Mirtle said Phaneuf is still a valuable piece that has
misused by the Leafs. “Phaneufs got limitations
certainly, and the Leafs dont particulary work around
those limitations that well,” Mirtle said, referencing
how Phaneuf has been successful being a second-pairing
defenceman that can contribute in an offensive way. “It
seems in Toronto theyve tried to recast him as this
defensive stalwart – Shea Weber-type – that can kill
penalties and play against other teams top lines, 25-26
minutes a night and Ive never understood why thats the
case. “You can have a six or $7-million defenceman that
doesnt do it all and still get value out of him.” Mirtle
mentioned Edmonton, Dallas and Minnesota as potential
landing spots for Phaneuf, saying he would fit in nicely
in a No. 2 role behind Ryan Suter with the Wild.

month countdown to the start of the Winter Olympics in
Sochi, a defining moment on the world stage for Russia
and Vladimir Putin. These games are among the most
contentious in Olympic history, embroiled in controversy
over terrorist threats, human rights, gay rights, cost
overruns, corruption and environmental damage. But is it
all doom and gloom for Putins pet project? Before the
Olympic cauldron is lit on Feb. 7, its time for a look at
the good and the bad for Russias first Winter Games. ----
-- The negatives: TERROR THREAT: The two bombings in
Volgograd -- which killed 34 people in suicide attacks on
the rail station and a trolley bus -- have escalated the
security alarm. Sochi is located on the edge of the
Caucasus region, where insurgents are seeking to create
an Islamic state. Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov has
urged his fighters to attack the Sochi Olympics, which he
described as "satanic dances on the bones of our
ancestors." A massive security apparatus will be in place
for the games, meaning painstaking metal-detector, X-ray
and other checks for athletes, spectators and media.
Ticketholders will need to obtain "spectator passes,"
providing passport and other information to authorities.
Email, phone and internet usage will reportedly be
monitored by Russian security agencies. Putin is expected
to attend many Olympic events, causing further security
lockdowns. A heavy presence of Russian security forces
could turn the games into an armed camp and undermine any
prospect of a welcoming, festival atmosphere. GAY RIGHTS:
The Russian law banning gay "propaganda" has caused a
furious backlash in the West and tarnished the countrys
international reputation heading into the Olympics. While
Russia has promised there will be no discrimination at
the games, critics continue to bash the law. The IOC has
been assailed for not pushing Russia to repeal the
legislation. Some athletes are planning to make their
views known in Sochi, either by speaking out or carrying
or wearing symbols promoting gay rights. Thats something
which could land athletes in trouble with the IOC, which
prohibits any political gestures at the games. HUMAN
RIGHTS: Russias human rights record remains under
scrutiny. With the games approaching, Putin has launched
a charm offensive of sorts -- pardoning former oil tycoon
Mikhail Khodorkovsky and granting amnesty for Pussy Riot
punk band members and Greenpeace activists. He has even
rescinded an order banning any demonstrations in or
around the games. Critics call the moves window dressing.
Will protest applications be granted? Will anyone dare
come out to demonstrate? Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch
has accused Russian authorities of mistreating migrant
workers and harassing activists and journalists. PUTINS
POLITICS: Putins prickly relations with the West have
soured any "feel-good" factor about the Olympics.
Tensions with the U.S. and President Barack Obama grew
after Putin granted temporary asylum to NSA leaker Edward
Snowden. Putins policies on Syria and Iran, and Russias
backsliding on democratic reforms have antagonized
Western leaders. For the first time since 2000, the U.S.
delegation to the Olympics will not include a president,
vice-president or first lady. Obama is sending several
openly gay athletes, including tennis great Billie Jean
King and figure skater Brian Boitano. French President
Francois Hollande and German President Joachim Gauck are
not going to Sochi, either. WEATHER WORRIES: Sochi is a
subtropical resort on the Black Sea. Temperatures on the
coast, where the indoor ice events will be held, will be
mild. Thats fine, but there is uncertainty over
conditions in the mountains for the snow events. While
there iss already a good layer of snow in place, a spell
of warm or wet weather could cause problems.
jersey-c-30/">Ben Chiarot Jersey. . As a precaution,
organizers have stored up 450,000 cubic meters of snow.
Also worth noting: flooding and avalanches are common in
the region. RECORD COST: $51 billion. Thats the overall
price tag for the games, by far the most expensive in
history, summer or winter, and more than three times the
budget of the 2012 London Games. The cost includes the
long-term investment in roads, tunnels, railways and ski
facilities. Everything has been built from scratch as
Russia seeks to turn Sochi into a year-round tourist
destination. The costs have soared way above previous
projections amid allegations of financial mismanagement,
corruption and favours doled out to oligarchs and Putins
friends. ------ So whats the good news then? Yes, there
are things to look forward to. Heres a sampling: NEW
SPORTS: Twelve new events are on the sports program in
Sochi, with womens ski jumping perhaps the biggest
attraction. Female jumpers are making their debut after
being rejected for inclusion in Vancouver four years ago.
In a nod to the young X Games generation, the IOC has
also added ski halfpipe and ski and snowboard slopestyle
events. Snowboard star Shaun White, aka the Flying
Tomato, will unveil a new trick -- a frontside double-
cork 1440. Its a variation of the Double McTwist 1260 he
nailed at the 2010 Vancouver Games. HOCKEY FEVER: The NHL
players are back. Hockey is the sport Russia really cares
about and the host nation will be out to make amends
after the disaster in Vancouver. The Russians failed to
medal in hockey, knocked out in the quarterfinals by
Canada. It was symbolic of Russias worst overall showing
at a Winter Games, winning only 15 medals and finishing
11th in the table. Sochi will offer a chance of
redemption for superstar Alex Ovechkin, who is desperate
to lead Russia to its first Olympic title since a
"Unified Team" of former Soviet republics took gold in
Albertville in 1992. Of course, Canada and the U.S. might
have something to say about that. SKI STARS: Alpine
skiing features the anticipated returns of American stars
Lindsey Vonn and Bode Miller from knee injuries, though
Vonns status remains uncertain. High-profile medal
contenders include 18-year-old American Mikaela Shiffrin,
as well as Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway and Tina Maze of
Slovenia. COMPACT LAYOUT: All the indoor venues and the
stadium for the ceremonies are located in the Olympic
Park in the coastal cluster. Its possible to walk or take
a short shuttle bus between all the venues. The mountain
cluster is only about 45 minutes away. Its a much more
compact setup than previous games in Vancouver and Turin.
Spectators can use a brand new train service to travel
between the coast and the mountains. THE VENUES: Theyre
brand new, theyre ready and theyll look great on TV.
Gleaming arenas are in place for hockey, curling,
speedskating and figure skating. THE BOSS: Dmitry
Chernyshenko, a native of Sochi, is the affable head of
the local organizing committee. The bespectacled
Chernyshenko, who comes from the world of advertising,
loves technology. He carries an iPad wherever he goes and
is an enthusiastic user of Twitter ((at)DChernyshenko,
www.twitter.com/DChernyshenko). He led Sochis winning bid
for the games and has spent the last seven years getting
the city ready for its big moment. THE STAKES: National
pride and Putins personal prestige are on the line.
Theres simply too much at play for Russia not to make the
games a success. Besides, once the competition begins,
the athletes take centre stage and the host nation begins
winning medals, the atmosphere invariably takes off. AND
FINALLY: Hey, the mascots are kind of cute.
