When have I defended the Clarkson extension?

And why not defend the Dion extension? He would have gotten 7 million easily on the open market. He was easily the best available D-Man.

People on this board seriously think Dion is terrible and should be getting 3-4 million per season and think he's not a top 80-100 NHL D-Man. I'm not even going to try to argue with that. Brooks Orpik gets 5.5 million. LOL.

The last time I had this discussion, I had regulars on here listing guys who are healthy scratches that are better than Dion. One guy said Souray was far better. He didn't play a single game last season and hasn't looked good in years.
