Yup, and its not like Phaneuf has been plagued by injuries or anything.
You can even say the same for Phil. Hasn't missed a Leaf game since the first 12 games of the 09-10 season.

Was discussing this a few places so I thought I would bring it here.
I think our team's core is younger than what people think it is. Right now we do have some older players who play key roles, Lupul and Phaneuf, who are 29 and 28. But I think for a team to be successful you have to keep the teams core age tight and have players playing in their prime at the same time, for that reason I'd say our team's core should be more in the 22-25 range...
Core between 22-25...
Gardiner 22
Kadri 22
Bernier 24
JvR 24
Reimer 25
Kessel 25
Franson 25
That fills...
JvR - ____ - Kessel
____ - Kadri - _____

This bracket covers....
1/2 of our top six fwd's
1/2 of out top four d
both our goalies
Maybe we need to see these as the pieces to build around.
What do you guys think it is? And, how does it effect how you feel about the players we try to bring in?
I'd really like to lock up Mcclement for a while. It feels good when we don't have to worry about our PK. Although...he is 30.
And yes, Jay McClement shuts down Nash as well. We need to sign that guy for $3 million dollars long-term.Yeah...
