What's the deal... been holding onto him this long.. please convince me it's still worth it!
That's what I'm thinkin! And I traded for him for that exact same reason! Hahaahaha. Ohhh dear.
Im in the same spot as you guys. I think he will get back into form soon. Did he play during the lockout? If not, maybe thats why he is starting so slow?

Phaneuf's track record is the reason to hang on to him. Phaneuf is doing much right now, but he's normally a stud in multiple cats, so you don't have to rely on just one aspect of his game rounding into form. Even if the points don't start coming, I feel like his periphrals will only continue to get better. Depeneding on your league, I would imagine there isn't much in way of replacement, so that would be added incentive to keep him.

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
No one hits the back of the boards with their shot harder than Phaneuf.

10 person multicat league with no hits/blocks only pims and ppp and about 6 keepers each not including prospects.. Dion wouldn't get me anything the way hes playing... I almost want to drop him for friggen Matt Carle... Dion couldn't hit the net in Calgary except for his first year in Calgary, being a Flames fan I should have avoided him but my strat was to build a well balanced gritty team so I woudn't need to pick up a PIM only forward. Have Perry whos dont jack all, Marchand who got hurt, Dion as well... man what a dumb strat.
Add me to the pile of fantasy owners scratching their heads and wondering what to do with Phaneuf. Bieksa also, to some extent.
I'm in the same situation. Was stoked to see Phaneuf have a solid season last year, but geez this year has been just awful.
Funny too that every other player slump (Kessel, Weber, etc) has been discussed at length...and no love for Phaneuf.
Probably shop him once he turns things around b/c I'm afraid these inconstancies will occur in the future.

Don't worry... now that Kessel has finally scored a goal, I'm sure the Toronto media will turn its attention to shitty Phaneuf.
That guy is such an overrated piece of shit. He couldn't hit the side of a barn with his slapshot yet he managed to hit Lupul right in the elbow. The only redeeming quality about him is that he's banging Elisha Cuthbert.
Do what I did! Trade his ASS for Gardiner! When They finally call him up he will dominate on the PP in Toronto. Do it now before they call him back from the Marlies. This kid is truly the real deal in my eyes

It continues to astound me how little credit Phaneuf gets.
For all those comments about "couldn't hit the broadside of the barn" or "always hitting the boards," he's still consistently top 10 for defense shots and has only been below 200 shots once in his career (the year he was injured). He's also been below 4 percent shooting only once and has a respectable 5.9 (as a dman).
Offensively he was still top 15 in defense points last season on a team that had a rookie dman as the next best dman.
He's struggling right now but thats the result of being overworked and being place with a guy better suited to being a depth dman. Toronto needs to find another top line dman to take the pressure off of Phanuef. It would help wondrously.
And yet he's still one of the best multi-cat producers in hockey.
