Cant put two young defensively challenged guys together and not expect to have bouts of chaos in your own end.. I have never been into the Reilly/Gardiner combo unless maybe a PP opportunity

Under 22 minutes???

With a good partner I wouldn't see a problem with him pulling 25 minutes

The Oilers are doing the same thing with Schultz and Hunt, it's a recipe for disaster.

The problem with this is that his flaws wouldn't be fixed by another guy... He has poor foot speed and get beat wide, how is his partner going to help that? He can't leave his man and take Dions. His other huge flaw is front of the net coverage, which again, if his partner is dealing with the man in the corner, he can't make dion take the man in front if the puck gets there...

I'd love to see a pairing of Weber and Phanner, that would be a mean duo.

I am watching a Scarlett Johansson movie... so he better hurry up.

And the rest of your d would be awful, especially after spending 17 million on one pair. When the Ducks had Pronger/ Neids, they were separated for the most part, probably because they are actual superstars, not the pretend kind...

Are you saying Phaneuf would not be a better player if he was playing with a better partner?

Even if he say puts up 20-25 goals, 5.5 mil is waay too much for a bottom-6 player.

Having a better partner would still help, not saying its going to change the player Phaneuf is.
