Some of those are debatable. In the area of 20 is about right I would say. Tough to say though - the problem is you have to pay him like a #1 but if he is your #1 - you probably aren't going to win in the playoffs.
Tough player to gauge value on.

You can't really compare Dion Phaneuf to anybody on that list, that's what makes him a special player. Maybe Chara and Subban for a few similarities.
I've always been a big fan of Phaneuf. He's a good hockey story for sure. From the Red Deer Rebels, World Jrs, Calgary Flames and now the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs. An original six team. He's already amongst NHL greats just on what he's accomplished so far.
We're lucky to have had him here playing for the Flames. I think he'll get $7 Million if not more.
