IMO, Dallas is the best trading option only because they need a Phaneuf type player, also Ritchie or Dickinson would be a great return for the Leafs, & a possibly 2nd rounder?
Guys on this board have to get over the numbers these players make. Fact is, it is what the market will pay and he will be worth that on the open market. Any player you find to play that position will cost you as much. I would say I would rather have him for that price than Dion.
The "market" paid Clarkson 5.25 mil, the "market" paid Phaneuf $7 mil, if Franson is signed for $5.5-$6, than people are going to be freaking about this in 2 years. Franson is good but not $6 mil good and not to a team that is rebuilding. It does not make sense. Let somebody else pay him.
Phaneuf is the #1 issue in the dressing room and the #1 priority to move, for this team moving forward. He is not even close to a #1 D or a Captain. A Captain leads by example and takes accountability for his actions .
In order for this team to move forward it is in desperate need of a culture change and it starts with the captain.
