Question - does Phaneuf get $6.5m plus on the open market?
I seem to remember a few people (Nick Kypreos?) saying that he wouldn't.

Refering to the list below of top FA dmen and the fact that I don't think FA prices have come down in the past few years (lol Kyper), I think it's easy to say Dion would get more than his 6.5M on the open market.
Phaneuf - 28 (6.5)
Boyle - 37 (6.6)
Timmonen - 38 (6.0)
Markov - 24 (5.8)
Pitkanen - 30 (4.5)
Zidlicky - 36 (4.0)
Meszaros - 28 (4.0)
Quincey - 28 (3.8)
Salo - 39 (3.8)
Orpik - 33 (3.8)
Giradrdi - 29 (3.4)
Robidas - 36 (3.3)

With max term? Whoever picks up Dion @ $6.5M for 6 yrs will be boned in the long term. He may be a $6.5M player now (and some would even argue this), but there's no way he'll be a $6.5M player at 35. The fanbase would be all over the veteran overpaid #3D.
Really good point.
Good list - thanks for sharing.
I was curious as to why some felt he wouldn't get that money.
For me he's a lock to get it - only question is whether he gets it here or not.
