Dion is a pretty good defenceman. He and TJ Brodie are actually really close comparables. He's no superstar, but if you're a Leafs fan I assume you'd be just as excited as the Flames are about guys like Brodie (even though Dion is a leap older).
I get why he's saying the toughest competition thing, he's clearly seen a few advanced stats regarding QoC, but it's moderately meaningless out of context, which is how it's being used. Dion is a fine 1B/2nd line defenceman on a team like the Leafs.
Back to Subban?
