Dion is slow, has poor hockey sense, his offense is drying up, doesn't seem to have the lungs to be able to handle the requisite minutes to be a number one defenseman, can't quarterback a power play, can't be a trigger man on the power play, crumbles under pressure, has a poor reputation among peers in the NHL, is paid like he's elite, can't lead a guided tour.
What a great guy to have!
Slow..yup
Poor Hockey Sense..Yup
Mediocre Offense...Yup
Poor PP QB...Yup
Average Conditioning..Yup
Not Good Under Pressure..Yup
Not Respected by Peergroup..Yup
Paid as an Elite D..Yup
Hard to argue with any of these points I'm afraid. Not from what I've witnessed anyway. Are fans in Chicago having these convos about Keith/Seabrook...Boston fans having these discussions about Chara? How about fans in LA? Saying things about Doughty?
Where there is smoke....there is fire.
I don't think fans/media make this stuff up just because......
Maybe its time for Dion to move on. A change of scenery may do him wonders. Would do Leafs Nation wonders too...
