I guess I must just be crazy, those stats are wacky doodle fantastic.
Again, Wideman with the ability to hit. Both minus players if that's your thing (though that speaks to a mixture of team and individual mistakes, so hard to say if it's fair to judge them on that).
He isn't worth a dime over 5.5, and yes, that would make you delusional.
Example:
Erik Karlsson and Pietrangelo (or however you spell that bad boy)
6.5 per.
If you even attempt to say Phaneuf is worth more than either of those guys, YOU CRAZY!
He's a 5.5 guy, if a team pays him 7, then they're completely idiots.... so yeah, maybe the Leafs will pay him 7.

Karlsson and Pietrangelo were signed as RFA's. They would have gotten more on the open market. And it's funny how you pick on Dion's defense, but Karlson's is fine. Can I point out how many bad D-men as UFA's get over 5 million that aren't in Dion's league?
And why only compare offense? Dion play tougher minutes, get more hits. He's just more of that #1 guy than Wideman will ever be. Dion is top 10 in so many categories for D-men.(points, hits, TOI).
The "Phaneuf is so overpaid" was ok in 2009'. Now it's silly.
