Dear Toronto Maple Leafs "What you have to do, what is most important is get a little better every day. If you don't you won't get to where you want to go. Right? You won't reach the goal. You have to do this. Yeah. That is the secret."

For those who really dislike Phaneuf, Scott Cullen makes these solid points.

"Often maligned for his errors, Dion Phaneuf isn't nearly as bad as his critics might want to believe. He makes his mistakes, still getting caught out of position for a big hit, but he ranks 11th among defencemen in points (72) and tied for fourth in goals (21) over the last two seasons, so there are positives that can't be overlooked.

Additionally, Phaneuf was charged with taking on the opposition's best on a nightly basis and, for a Leafs team that had terrible possession numbers, that meant a lot of heavy lifting. It's entirely reasonable to think that there might be other defencemen who could handle the shutdown role more effectively, but it's not fair to malign Phaneuf for not being the ideal shutdown defenceman when he's one of the league's better offensive contributors from the blueline because the list of defencemen who excel at both is very small."





BOLDED
That means Phaneufs company is Byfuglien, Campbell, Letang, Suter, Webber, Pietrangelo, Streit, Subban, Yandle. It also means, offensively, that Phaneuf is better than Edler, Chara, Boyle, Keith, Shattenkirk, Del Zotto, Doughty, Ekman-Larsson, Johnson, Leddy, Carlson, Seabrook, McDonagh, Enstrom, Timonen, Carle, Gonchar and Widemen (to name a few)
He comes up tied for 4th with Yandle, while just behind Byfuglien, Karlsson and Weber in the goals category.






Food for thought

I don't buy the whole "scraps" rumor... if anything wouldn't that create a bidding war? All he said was that is what Toronto offered.
