Cost Per Pointcast Ep. 26: Farewell, Dion ft. Micah Blake McCurdy

After news of the Dion Phaneuf trade broke Tuesday night, Micah Blake McCurdy joined the podcast again to talk about the move and Ottawa’s plans at the deadline

Yesterday was a big day for the Ottawa Senators, and I wasn’t planning on doing a podcast, but I knew an emergency episode was needed.

Creator of Hockeyviz.com, Micah Blake McCurdy, joined the show again to go over the blockbuster deal that sent Nate Thompson to the LA Kings. Oh, and also Dion Phaneuf.

Topics include:

-Financial ramifications of the deal

-What it means for the team on the ice

-Gaborik’s impact on the team

-How Dion will be remembered

-Ottawa’s depth at defense

-Who else could be moved before the deadline?

-And more!
