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.

IMO, Edmonton would have backed up the truck to the tune of $8M for Phaneuf. I'm sure with a little thought and capgeek research, there would have been 6+ teams that would have paid at least $7+ for him.
