By now, everyone and their grandmother has given their opinion on the nine-player deal that saw the Toronto Maple Leafs trade Dion Phaneuf to the Ottawa Senators. I was unabashedly positive in my review, but Nichols was very negative over on The 6th Sens, and Ary was similarly unsure how Phaneuf would look with Ceci. The WTYKY roundtable featured a lot of uncertainty (and hilarity), while Down Goes Brown was cautiously optimistic from Ottawa's point of view. (For more on the trade, check out Ian Mendes' cool piece on how the trade got done, Luke Peristy's hilarious look back on all the tweets he put out about Jared Cowen, or Steve On Sens' "touching" tribute to Cowen.
