That's cherry picking. Show me where Babchuk ever played remotely close to 24 minutes in a game ever let alone for an entire season? Phaneuf isn't a great defenseman but he's not a bad defenseman and he would instantly upgrade the Oilers so fans that are hoping the Oilers get him may want to be careful what they wish for.
