Character is about values, believes, inner strength, and many other things that are hard to quantify. Some of the biggest "characters" I have worked with have also had the most character. Being odd ball, goofy, crazy, or marching to your own beat should not impune your character. A strange duck can have tremendous character. I actually find his article a bit disparaging to people like Kessel and Subban if it implies they do not have character. Everything I have ever heard about Subban argues his character is outstanding.
Wish I had caught the interview as well. I fundamentally disagree that many of the players he mentioned in the article lack character.

The character talk was on 960 with Pinder not the article. Pinder brought up how Treliving has made a lot of moves to bring in character guys (Brouwer, Hamonik, etc) and it hasn't paid off and Dellow made the comments in regards to teams being successful with players like Kessel, Subban, etc and that you win with talent not character. To be fair he also said from the outside it's not fair to comment on locker room issues they may not be privy of.
