I'd say looks like Stevens will have the impact of Adam Foote. If you're expecting much more than that you're overrating him.
a) mostly Flame haters bash Phaneuf, its just natural.MrMastodonFarm said:Several things working against Phaneuf here, and prove he is overrated.
- He was drafted by the Flames -- that is never a good sign
- He is 20 years old now -- a little too old for HF's taste
- He wears a visor -- what a french wussy!
The visor thing -- it's something that was brought up by an Oiler fan on that other board today. Can't say I didn't get a good chuckle out of it.jtuzzi said:a) mostly Flame haters bash Phaneuf, its just natural.
b) most people think that players peak at 19 or 20 around here
c) don't see people hating on him for the visor.
As for this topic, I wish he was overrated, but that is't the case. People tend to overlook his offensive capabilites because he is such a force defensively. He may have the best one-timer slap-shot on the PP I have seen in a prospect in a very long time.

My post was all tounge-in-cheek though.
