You can never truly tell what a player will do on one team or another but the thing that would scare me as a GM when acquiring players from poor teams that have little depth is the Brian Bradley effect. Someone has to score and get points...it doesn't mean that player is good.
Might not be the case here but IMO if you move out a core piece that has the upside of Phaneuf you better be getting back a similar player rather than a couple of potential Brian Bradley's. If the flames did a great job of pro scouting it won't be an issue. Wait and see I guess.
