Well the people who insist on putting Phaneuf up with the likes of Keith, Suter, Pietrangelo, etc, are overrating him. And thats something you still hear on a very regular basis around here.
Overrated does NOT mean bad. Guys like Yandle, Byfgulien, Edler, etc are GOOD hockey players, and thats more or less the company Id put Phaneuf in. So just because people think Phaneuf is overrated, doesnt mean they think he cant play a top pairing role on a contender. Just that he's not an elite franchise Dman who can be a top player on a contending team.
