His dollars are comparable with: Pietrangelo, Karlsson, Boyle, Green, Chara and Doughty.
Tell me his skills compare in any way with any of them. I dont think theres a single NHL GM who would take Phaneuf over any one of those guys with the possible exception of Green.
Not to mention, hes 28 while the majority of those guys are 23 or 24.
I'm sorry, he is being paid way, way above his talent level.

Actually, 3 of them are older. 28 is prime years for a D-man.
Boyle and Green right now would not be chosen over Phaneuf.
