Agreed... he's a lower tier #1 guy. Most of the top teams have better #1 guys OR if they don't they have strong defensive defenseman throughout the roster. The Leafs don't really have anyone who fits that bill... they were hoping Ranger or Gleason could fill it but both of them are bottom pairing guys at this time.
Its all out disaster if a top line gets matched up against the Gardiner/Reilly pair or the Ranger/Gleason/Franson mismash... so its all left on Phaneuf/Gunnersson.
