I might consider taking him back but very very unlikely. That has to be one of the worst contracts in the league for a player that is A. not very good right now and B. not going to get better. The only way I would do this is if I get a decent prospect or pick along with The Dion.
The Dion, just another reason to laugh in the general direction of the Leafs.

I have this general sentiment as well. I thought Neon Dion was awesome for the Flames on his ELC. Then the fame/money/whatever went to his head and he never really progressed.
I thought bringing in Brent Sutter would help him teach better dzone play but Darryl traded him later that season or was it the season after (I can't remember).
Thanks, but no thanks.
