The Phaneuf trade was bad the day it was made as it was under market value for young #2D.

In my opinion the variance is what people are annoyed with. When you trade that 5D (who would be a 4 on many teams) makes a big difference. There seems to be many contenders looking to add size in the back end due to underperformance of the team or injuries. The reason why the trade had to happen now was not convincing and if they were patient they could have gotten more. I don't see a pressing need for why it needed to happen now.
