Agreed. I don't hate Phaneuf at all - I was just as excited about him in his first few years as a promising young player as much as I am excited about the young players we have today, and I think he is very passionate about winning.
His 7 million cap hit would make him the highest paid on the Flames though and he wouldn't even be the best player on this team - you want the highest paid player on your team to be earning every bit of that money and show no signs of the complacency that has plagued this team before the rebuild started.
