Fowler doesn't have a single PIM this year (Dion does take some dumb penalties) and both are a lot better defensively and play only about 1:30 fewer minutes per game.
The Ducks could use a #1 D-man, but Dion ain't one.
I'd have Dion rated around 45-50 or so, with some guys that are inferior offensively ahead of him. He is that bad defensively. (Insert counter argument about +/-). The only two D-men that have more points than him that I would take Dion over are Vatanen and Green, and Vatanen is only because he is a rookie and an unknown quantity longer term.

No. They play easier minutes and would be killed in Toronto.
