Nothing Personal, Kid, It's Just... Something

Dany I-don't-want-to-be-a-Senator-anymore Heatley gets invited to the Olympic team, while Jason Spezza doesn't:
Steve Yzerman, executive director of Canada’s men’s hockey team for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, said in a conference call that his management team has selected a group they feel will have the “youth, experience, size, speed, skill, grit — all the elements that make up a championship team.”

Spezza was among Canada’s leading scorers at the worlds, but selectors feel the gifted offensive centre is too one-dimensional as a player.
Other-worldly.

If Jason Spezza is described as "one-dimensional", how can Dany Heatley be considered anything else?
