I guess I am in the minority as far as seeing this as not that bad of a return. Ian White is a fairly good offensive d man (has more points than Dion this year and is only a year older and played some forward last year before winning his job back and then leading the leafs in icetime by the end of the year), and I know it's not saying a lot, but Stajan is now #2 on our team in points and Hagman is #4. I think we have to be honest with ourselves and realize Phaneuf at his pricetag was not living up to it. Obviously he could still develop into one of the leagues best. I have no idea why we wanted Jamal Mayers. 3 Solid players is not that bad of a deal especially if Dion wanted out. Stajan is a 60 pt. player as he has improved every year. Hagman is 40-50 pt player and White is a 30-40 pt defender.
