I think we’re at a point where you have to look past Phaneuf’s negatives a bit. He was still a very good player with a 1000-game career, which at this stage of the poll has to count for something.

People forget he finished 2nd in the Norris Trophy voting race in 2007-08. He absolutely peaked the highest out of the remaining candidates, and had a long enough prime that this has got to be him - he probably should have came off the board a little bit earlier.

This draft was sick. David Backes, almost 1000 games, 561 points, captain, Olympic silver, top 5 Selke four years in a row, and he's still on the board,

It's time to return the glory of Loui Erikson, over 1000 games of Selke-level defending while putting over 600 points. Champion of the world and Olympic silver medalist.
