Look around at the "Contenders", their top-pairing guys aren't even considered that good. Teams like Anaheim have guys playing top pairing minutes who aren't even considered top-pairing guys by most in the league.
If you're saying he's not a first pairing on a bottom feeder then you're telling me he's not amongst the top 80 NHL D-Men. Ridiculous.

Contenders don't get bounced in the second round of the playoffs. Anyone who knows anything about hockey would tell you that Pittsburgh wasn't going anywhere with that defence core.
I actually think Beauchemin, Fowler, Lindholm and Souray are all better defencemen than Phaneuf. So yeah, he would be third pairing on the Ducks. Plus Lindholm and Fowler are very young and improving. The last thing Anaheim needs is more defencemen.
Maybe Phaneuf would be top pairing on the Oilers, that's about it though, he's a terrible defenceman.
Anyways, who does Phaneuf replace on the Flames top pairing? Giordano or Brodie?
