I believe Phaneuf's label as being overrated comes from the fact he's really (frank)ing dumb.

I don't really find that "Huge" money.

People will believe whatever the media shovels to them.

Same with McCabe in Toronto.
- RogerRoeper

Are u saying McCabe was an elite defense man? Because Dion and McCabe is a pretty solid comparable

I consider committing over 36 mill to one player, a lot of money

We all know the Clarkson contract is awful, but Girardi is not going to get 7 million because he's not as important to his team as Phaneuf. Simple as that.

Dion is a top 5 D in the league, give him whatever he wants

Seriously? Not even close.

Briere has had a tough time fitting in Montreal - he plays 5 mins/game less than Clarkson and has a better stat line of 5g 5a

Clarkson I believe was miscast as was Phaneuf upon his arrival to Toronto

Ok, maybe top 60.

Meh, maybe. But not clearly

Ok, maybe top 6.

In toronto yes!

Clarkson wasn't miscast, he's simply not playing like he did last year

BTW how bad does that Letang contract look. Can someone explain to me how he's considered a #1 D-Man and star?
