Frankly, I think you have trouble understanding the solution to "what is one plus one" so I find your first sentence optimistic.
Given that, I will spell it out for you: The fact that teams might have overpaid for Phaneuf does not make him a top pair defenceman, except on a team lacking anything better. Phaneuf, like most of Toronto's roster, has significant flaws to his game that leaves him in the good-not-great category.
