The big (6'3"), rugged defenseman could play huge minutes and was at his best in a shutdown role. He never put up huge offensive numbers, which kept him from getting a lot of the credit he deserved. When he was on the ice, the puck was usually heading in the right direction. Was hampered by injuries at key times in his career, and they ultimately led to an early retirement. | |
