Something serious had to have been happening for D. Sutter and B. Sutter to give up on Phaneuf like this. Something very, very serious. Regehr didn't want to play with Phaneuf, and Regehr is a very influential guy in the room.

people who think that fans booing had influenced Darryl Sutter need to think again; does Darryl strike you as someone that is going to move a player - esp. Dion - because fans boo him?!
There has been lots of idle talk about there being an off ice issue in the room. no one except those in the room know if that is true or not.
the biggest disappointment, is not getting any young prospects in return.
Shaking up the core was the only move left. That's what Darryl has done. whether is pays off remains to be seen.
