I think his retirement forces Pop to live with Blair and Splitter a little more now, with Bonner filling essentially the same role he always has - spread the floor, try to crash the boards and energize the team. He is ok in doses, but too much of a defensive liability to ever be the "trusted big".

LOL, It opens the way for more Bonner as well. With Pop being a "corporate knowledge" guy, if things went bad Dice was usually his trusted big next to Tim. Now when all else fails I sincerely fear that his trusted big will be none other than the "Red Rocket". You forgot to state the obvious. LOL, It opens the way for more Bonner as well.
