Player Notes

September 11, 2008
Dion Phaneuf is the cover boy for the video game put out by EA Sports called NHL '09, according to Slam Sports. "They keep getting more and more real. The technology that goes into it -- being hooked up to all these motion sensors when you're shooting the puck and hitting and everything, and then you're on a screen in an animated form. It's pretty cool to see the technology behind it all."

"It remains very important for us to lock up our key young players," Flames GM Darryl Sutter said in a release. "Our goal with Dion was to provide an arrangement that will allow him to take his game to the next level." The hard-hitting Phaneuf has 35 points (nine goals, 26 assists) in 53 games this season and is widely regarded as the NHL's best young defenseman.

Details about what the contract might end up being are limited, as rumors run the gamut from three to six years. But it's clear the Flames want to lock up their young defenseman, who has 33 points in 52 games this season, for the foreseeable future.
