Analysis:

Phaneuf was acquired from Toronto on Tuesday and looks poised to make an immediate impact for the Senators. The 30-year-old should complement the first power-play unit well if he grabs a spot, and Ottawa could use some fireworks, especially considering they only convert on 17.7 percent of their power plays. Phaneuf is on track to see a boost in value with his new team.
