People are analyzing this purely based on skill and talent, which is fair, but there is probably a chemistry thing going on here too - its not like there hasn't been tons of rumours with regard to friction in the locker room.
Phaneuf and his potential is the wild card here...the kid has all the tools, but never the toolbox. Maybe the light comes on for him in TO, in which case, we lose the trade...and maybe Dion tops out like a guy like Derrick Morris did?
who knows. The trade is done and all we can do is wait and see how these guys fit in.

We had Stralman. And traded him to Columbus, remember?
