Leaf Rumours

Versteeg is our best player. Look how bad we were without him. And look how bad Chicago is. Great pickup by Burke. Now if he can trade Phaneuf for something........
 
I just do not know what has happened to Dion. It is quite shocking how somebody so young could just rapidly lose it all. I have to agree with Teeder, he is either injured or has some form of addiction problem.

What a bust.
 
Yeah, Versteeg has been noticeably absent the last two games. They went from having 3 lines producing to having two pretty useless lines. Plus the PP has gone to shit.

He's a huge part of this team.
 
He is paid to be an offensive defenseman. 20 goals and 60 points a year. Time to bring in Keenan to kick Dion in the ass.

This guy us supposed to be the captain and lead this team.
 
Hard to lead a team with unreliable goaltending. Everytime he tries to jump into the rush no one backs him up and it ends up in the net. But hell Sundin was called a shitty captain and he made the playoffs.
 
I don't think he's been bad defensively, except in a few instances. The problem is his skill set now is almost identical to Beauchemin, but at twice the price.
 
Dion generated offense in the past by jumping into the rush, but most of the time when he tries that here he has gotten burned. So he's not doing it as much any and thus his numbers are way down.
 
The points didn't happen by magic. Good team + good powerplay = offense from Dion. The Leafs are neither a good team nor do they have good powerplay.

In 08-09, Calgary made the playoffs and Dion had 47 points. Last year and this year he's had sh!t teams to work with.
 
Why does a good player ALWAYS need a good team to produce?

I just don't buy that argument at all. Good players should find a way to make the team better, especially a captain.

I'm not arguing against the logic that someone should get 80 points on a good team, and 60 on a bad team. Thats just common sense. But i don't buy the argument that every good player needs another good player on the ice to produce.
