Dion didn't really give Darryl a choice, and the combination of the loss of Phaneuf and the trade return cut the legs off from this organization.

Outside of the last year of Darryl's GM tenure, I can't think of a single trade (Jokinen excluded) that wasn't a benefit for the organization or a contract that was an overpayment.
Well, I think you can add a fourth issue and that was his mismanagement of the salary cap. There's nothing like going into a game short because your GM screwed up counting on his fingers.
