I simply don't understand this type of reasoning. Phaneuf hasn't been lights out in Toronto but he's become their #1 defenseman and captain. Any time you can get your #1 defenseman for a bag of pucks in a trade you are a winner. He may not be living up to his potential but the fact is he's still the best they have at the moment.
