The first 2 years in Calgary I loved Dion Phaneuf, he was simply awesome for his age and brought a huge dynamic to the team. But something happened, he never grew into his position. I think his head got to big for his shoulders and his game regressed. I honestly wanted him off the team regardless of return, addition by subtraction. Water under the bridge there, what's done is done.
I might consider taking him back but very very unlikely. That has to be one of the worst contracts in the league for a player that is A. not very good right now and B. not going to get better. The only way I would do this is if I get a decent prospect or pick along with The Dion.
The Dion, just another reason to laugh in the general direction of the Leafs.
