His play has improved greatly.
Even his last year with calgary I couldnt get over how he was just all over the ice.
Guy's skating and mobility is as good as it gets - robin_steele264
I would love JBo so much.
This is why I like Percy... give him time to develop and he could be a J-Bo-light.... |

I'm taking bouwmeester, Markov, vlasic, and orpik off that list.
Chara is going on.
Guys like OEL, kronwall probably fit in there somewhere.. - joel878
Can't believe i forgot Chara. he is top five |

LOL... yes we made that together
Guys who are playing way better get canceled out cause their team is good though. - robin_steele264
The guy is either trolling or... what is a politically correct word to use? Mentally handicapped? |

Yes, a list you collaborated on. You had 3 suggested additions. I gave you one and challenged the other two with facts.
I'll even give you another and Phaneuf is still in the top 10. - Leeman4Gilmour
stop using that word

I assume this is in regards to Seabrook and JBo.
In both cases, there are many areas where Phaneuf has the edge this year. Yes, quality of teammates is one of them. Things like hits, blocked shots, TOI, quality of competition, etc. are some others. |

He's not.
But if Jbo was traded to the Leafs and Dion was never in the spotlight of Toronto I have a feeling his name would rarely ever come up in the 'elite dman' discussion.
Just a hunch - robin_steele264
If the numbers hold up, I'm pretty sure this will be the first time in his career Jbo gets more points than Phaneuf. |

Shhh... we only care about career numbers when they're not in Phaneuf's favor here. |

Jbo doesnt get caught out of position and no one in the league will burn him with speed.

I'd say there's far more to the defensive side of the game than that.
Phaneuf finished 10th last year. Are you willing to concede his Norris ranking (11th) was roughly accurate?
I'm assuming not. - Leeman4Gilmour
I'm just trying to find the line.. Because when it was weber and phaneuf all we were told was to look up the numbers..
I think it was a few spots high.. But I'll concede to the general area.
I also think it was a 48 game season, and can't help but factor that were basically seeing phaneuf play his first plus hockey as a leaf.
You said top 15. I said top 20. We're not that far off.
You obviously put a lot more weight on your position than I do mine.
I also think you'd be hard pressed to find a few guys on any of those lists who have as obvious shortcomings to their games as phaneuf does his.
And I also think the leafs would be stupid to trade him, unless by some random miracle, they were getting a guy higher on those lists in return. |

Hockey IQ? - Pikey Fan
Have any way to measure that?
Phaneuf has an exceptional ES TOI/GA. He's been playing loads of SH minutes. He's got a great +/-. He's throwing hits and blocking shots.
All of this can be put in the context of his quality of opponent, his quality of teammate, and the circumstances he is asked to play in (stats like defensive starts).
When these things are all taken as a whole, he is among the top 10 defensemen so far this year. |

I'll be giving you the win on seabrook.
I'm on the fence with JBo. His play this year has him up there.. But the previous few seasons can't be ignored. He seems to play far worse on garbage teams than phaneuf does. |

This is probably the third time I've said this, but the Olympic team is looking for skills that translate to the larger ice.
Yeah, guys with more mobility will obviously have the edge. But until the NHL starts playing on international ice, I'm going to judge Phaneuf by NHL standards. |

Larry Murphy led the league in that category, too.
Hell, Salming was hated for the longest time just for being a Swede.
Defensemen in Toronto get shredded to pieces. You've got a guy who can play effectively while taking the heat? Great. Hang onto that guy for dear life. |

In the NHL, his mobility is a major shortcoming.
