To me I feel there has to be a big component in the contract that is almost back pay for dramatically over exceeding his value on this contract. When you factor in last year, and if his play doesn't decline this year and next, you got a 7+ million dollar player .57 cents on the dollar. I would have no issues with an overpayment, and a big one at that for a few years.
If someone told you in 07 that Phaneuf would be a laughing stock pylon in Toronto, and Gio would be not only the Captain of the Flames, but mentioned in talks for a Norris trophy, you would have been laughed off this site, even by myself, who has always hated Phaneuf.
