Thinking more about this...as a fan, I don't like this. I like Phaneuf's potential (of course, I thought Morris was going to be a really good player as well) and I really worry that he is going to be a top player for a long time for the Leafs.
I do think that it makes the Flames better; more depth on the forwards, more flexibility in the future (cap space) and with Gio taking a big step, it made Phaneuf available.
<Sigh>
