Phaneuf ahead of Reinhart? Nope.
Tonelli? LOL. This isn't the greatest Islanders list

Lanny is in just the right spot but agree Phaneuf should be lower.
Wasn't Tonelli an important part of the 86 team that beat the Oilers? I also recall a quote from Gretzky that he absolutely hated playing against him. For that alone he deserves to make the list.
Edit: I found a Gretzky quote about the benching of Tonelli in the 88 playoffs. The Flames finished above the Oilers in the standings but were swept by them in the playoffs:

I wouldn't bench Tonelli if he had just stolen my car
