This all screams cap space and we got a tonne of it freed up this off season. The Defence will be built around Bouwmeester and Giordano with Negrin and Pelech coming up. Phanuef wasn't needed. I am willing to bet it takes two games and we forget all about him. Giordano has far surpassed him and plays with way more heart and passion the Dion does.
We got very servicable guys in return that should make Glencross, Moss, Nystrom and maybe even Bourque a little worried.
Still think there is another deal here somewhere, Chicago maybe with the expiring contracts that Sutter wanted?
Not upset at all. Phanuef wanted out and now he is gone. Move forward. Our D will be fine without him...
