Dion Phaneuf, our 428th ranked defenseman, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Chicago Blackhawks because they could use a player of this quality to play defenseman. The Blackhawks currently have only 0 healthy defensemans, and none are rated better than Phaneuf.
The Blackhawks currently have no defensemans under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Phaneuf could see a potential long term contract with the team.
