I personally would not pay him $7 million, but he did take a discount to stay in TO.

You've listened to BigTuna a little too much.
On the market he probably would have got some big cash from a mediocre team with plenty of room, but it likely would've been 7 on those teams and closer to 6 on a contender.
If you don't think signing Clarkson and Bozak to big money had anything to do with what Phaneuf got, you're wrong. Phaneuf did not take a discount to play for the Leafs.
