Sens and leafs make a 9 player swap! Didn't see that coming. As a sens fan I'm going to be conflicted about this trade for days.

The deal makes sense for both teams.
Sure Phaneuf is overpaid but playing in the second pairing will be perfect for him and the Sens aren't a cap team anyways so his salary isn't as big a deal as it would be for other teams.

Ottawa needed this trade very badly, great pickup for them.

I don't know why Ottawa would want to use part of their limited budget on Phaneuf, so I guess I still don't like it from their POV.

I think Dion gets unfairly roasted. Hes a great defenceman. Hes a poor mans #1 or an excellent #2. He was not a guy you could ride to a cup, but hes steady, strong and good on both sides of the puck.
OTT gets away with giving up their B level prospects (albeit good ones) and gets a bone fide top 4 NHL d. I like it.

I feel like people are forgetting that if he works out in Ottawa but they don't make the playoffs he's still around for 4 more years.

I think a team that is comfortably in the playoffs (say 1st-6th place) can think that way. If the team is well outside the playoffs, well, then I think that line of thinking is a bit short sighted. Ottawa's on a budget...

I think he's a 2nd pairing defenseman.... he's good when he's at 20-22 minutes like we've seen this year and doesnt have to play against the first line.. he should slate in well with Ottawa playing with Ceci.. but who knows.. he's already off to a rough start. For my leafs on the other hand, we get rid of that stupidly disgusting contract and now we have great flexiblity going ahead!! Plus, everyone's writing Jared Cowen off at 25.. maybe a change of scenary, no pressure at all and some great coaching will go a long ways for him.. Hoping the Leafs can unload 4 or 5 more guys before the deadline to round up more draft picks and prospects..
