Brutal deal now. Worse in 5 years when Phaneuf is winning the Norris, and we don't have any of these scrubs playing for us.

Let me quantify this by saying I am pretty much the biggest Dion apologist on these boards.
If it takes him 5 years to be good enough to win the Norris, then I am glad he is gone. You can't pay a guy money like Dion is earning and have him not perform. We overpaid him to avoid him being snagged by an offer sheet and right now he is not worth the money he is making, nor has he been for quite a while . In fact it is not even close. I keep thinking that we can overpay him for one more year and he will turn out like we all expected, but obviously there are some things that are going on that we don't have all the details on, like his attitude.
