In the worst kept secret of recent memory the Leafs signed happy-faced Dion Phaneuf to a longterm extension at $7 million per year. I don't think it's a bad signing...it's not like they were going to get anything better out there. He's likely not a top ten defenceman in the league even though he's being paid like one (heck he may not be a top ten CANADIAN defenceman). But with the cap going up it should work out ok, as long as he doesn't regress now that he's locked in til he's 35.

  Not a bad signing, like you said there aren't really better options out there. Keeping Dion is better than getting another teams sloppy seconds.....

Hefty price, but happy to see Phagoof locked up. A Leafs defense without him is just....pitiful at this point.

 

 

Him and Kessel got some pretty big bucks from Nonis I have to say. Still, that looks really good in comparison to the ghosts of contracts past (and probably present, if early indications on David "Wendal" Clarkson mean anything).

All teams have contracts they aren't too happy with. I'm a big Giroux fan but think his new contract is too much. But like Phaneuf, it's not like you can replace the guy with someone else, so i guess you pay it.
