I went back to reading that thread, and I can't believe there were many who said the deal wasn't that bad. Such craziness as "addition by subtraction", "Ian White's young", "we added a combined 70 points in this deal" were being thrown around. At the time Phaneuf showed that he had promise though his ego was getting the better of him. You don't deal away assets like that for nothing. Certainly it worked out alright, but at the time Phaneuf should've returned more in a deal had Sutter shopped him around.
