I agree. The initial result was Calgary was totally fleeced but in retrospect it wasn't nearly as bad because Phaneuf had his best years in Calgary and was overpaid by Toronto which hurts the perception of him.
Calgary ultimately lost due to the fact the value on a trade would have been far better if done in the summer and not a knee jerk mid season deal after a lengthy losing streak with a bottom feeding team.
