Take away his hard hitting and big shot, is he even a decent D-man? He is out of position and rely mostly on his big shot that doesn't hit the net most of the time.
I'm sick of seeing him couldn't break out of the Calgary zone, many a time, holding the puck behind Calgary's net, only to be forechecked by the opposing winger. Regher must be sick of babysitting him for all those years.
Beside his physical prowess, I couldn't think of a thing I like about his game. Playing in the wide opened East might help him offensively but he's a D-man but playing in the Centre of the Universe will not.
I give Sutter a lot of credit to pull a small name to big name trade. It's not easy to do for him. It is almost like giving up a 6 figure job at Encana to start your own business that unless you are sure you'll succeed, you (Sutter in this case) will not do it. That's why it's a good trade for us.

That's why we won't win a cup with Darryl as GM or his bro as coach. They want guys like themselves in here, you know the down home,nice, country bumpkin type. Most elite athletes come with ego,arrogance and it seperates the winners from the losers. That's just the way it is. Dion has an identity that you can build a team around. And if people say he's a cancer than they should get rid of the people that have a problem or can't get along with him. And yeah, I would pay him the $6.5 Mil, he's worth it.
