Don't want to add Phaneuf with his 7 million dollar contract

But you'd prefer to have Ericsson's? Yeah you pay more now but you gain a much better player also.

For me personally it's cone for cone. I'd much rather have Ericsson based on the fact that he's less money, less years, and may have to retire pretty soon due to his hips that if he has surgery on them it means retirement. Personally I'm banking on those hips by next season. I think he will try and play this year but they'll give out similar to kronwall and his one knee
