In hindsight the Phaneuf trade got better over time as well lol. It was terrible value at the time but kind of evened out in the end. Opposite of the Tkachuk trade lol.
I am not even sure the Phaneuf trade makes the top 10 bad list at this point.

The Phaneuf deal was mitigated by Phaneuf having chronic hip issues and his play substantially declining as a result. It helps save face a little I guess. At the time the deal was made, it was terrible though. Apparently no one else in the league even knew he was available so there was no bidding wars.
