    Does anyone else feel like Phaneuf is a bit of a weird choice. I am not hating on him or the flames it just feels weird to me.

    the focus this year was to revamp the defence...it's not an odd choice because phaneuf, aside from being a defenceman, is considered as one of the future superstars in the league.
