As far as Dion goes, when has he EVER had a true #2 defender to play along side him since he has been in Toronto? Let me help ya there, NEVER. He also plays against the best of the best every game night after night, logs more minutes than most dmen in the entire NHL and is Captain of the most legendary franchise in the NHL aka a ton of commitments every day of the season.
Finally he will have a better linemate this season although not sure a true #2 type guy yet at this point in Robidas or Gardiner, but possibly.
However, the Nashville Predators’ Shea Weber will earn twice as much as Subban during the 2014-15 season on a 14-year, $110-million contract he signed before the NHL lockout in 2012. While Weber’s deal averages $7.8 million per year, he will earn $14 million this season — an average of $170,731 per game — as the league’s highest-paid player.
A new song for Subban: If I Had $72 Million
by Stu Cowan, The Gazette
Subban now ranks third in the NHL in terms of average salary per season behind Washington’s Alex Ovechkin ($9.58 million) and Pittsburgh’s Evgeni Malkin ($9.5 million) and just ahead of Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby ($8.7 million). Subban is also the highest-paid defenceman in the NHL now in terms of average salary per season.

Maybe this will cool off Pernell's ego
I wish i shared your optimism.
Robidas is a quality veteran, but he's had two broken legs (same leg i believe) over the past 2 years or so. Not a good thing at his age.
Quite correct Doc, in fact he hasn't even been cleared for contact. I'm sure the organization knew what it was doing when they signed the oft-injured d-man a to a 3 year deal while no other teams were offering the ageing blue liner a new contract.
