The joy of inexperienced GMs is apparent. Let's not forget that Nonis was the idiot who thought Clarkson's contract was a good idea... Phaneuf is a decent D-man I will give him that and obviously one who would fit in as a top 4 guy in every team, but him getting paid superstar money is absurd. But then again Letang got 7,25 million so that will have a negative effect on future contract negosiations for above average D-men.
