Useless history time. Not everyone thought Dion Phaneuf was the next perennial Norris winner. Before they made the NHL Kypreos said on air he thought Weber was better (and he was widely attacked and hated for it). There were many junior watchers who wondered about Phaneuf's defensive IQ and decision making. They just weren't on Flames forums.

Interestingly I don't think those things are his biggest problem right now, it's more his foot speed and mobility, which was always a strength of his in his younger days.
