I was making a comparisson to the Derek Morris trade because of the similar circumstances with respect to age, and player potential.

The Al MacInnis trade happened when he was around 30, and his level of play was well established. Everyone knew at that time that he was a bonafide #1 d-man. The reason for his trade was entirely different, as it was for financial reasons only.

Derek Morris is similar to Phaneuf, in that when he was traded he was around the same age, and everyone was bellyaching that he had all this potential et al.

All I am saying is that Phaneuf could go either way.
