I am not one to gossip so I have not talked about this before. Frankly I believe that negative communication breeds negative situations and that does not help our team, but now that Phaneuf is gone I will speak up.
My roommate (I will not post his name) is lower level security and interacts with the players almost everyday. We talked about Dion often and he says Dion was not quick witted and that he believed he was gods gift to god himself, and was a complete fata most of the time. I'm not saying that is why Sutter traded him. I believe Sutter still saw all those tools in him thus, he did not want to trade Dion. I do believe once Dion saw his "Star Status" fall his ego decided that he wanted to leave. He will be better than Morris but not the Super Star we all thought he could be.
We have received a great return for him, and time will tell.
