With hindsight, the Phaneuf trade has been fantastic.
Fantastic?
Meh, i'll defer to you, I'm not nor have I ever been a Phaneuf fan, so perhaps I'm biased.
The Zibanejad trade, a little less so, but Brassard has definitely brought more to the Sens than Zibanejad before the trade.
The Zibanejad for Brassard trade is a lot like Turris for Duchene, a stylistic upgrade but still a lateral move that the Sens are paying incentives (1st + 2nd + 3rd + prospect if you combine both deals).
One last thing I will say - Uptown Saturday Night? F*** yeah.
Underrated album...
Also love the play on words for your username.
