Before you scoff, think of the Senators power play with Phaneuf’s shot and Karlsson’s ability to move the puck.  Phaneuf has 1 year remaning on his contract and he could be moved to make room for a big name in Toronto.  Phaneuf isn’t exactly oozing charisma, but he wouldn’t have to be the team spokesperson or anything like that.  Methot-Karlsson and Phaneuf – Cowen sounds pretty good to me for a year.
