Scouting Report
Has the hockey sense and experience that go along with having played in the NHL for well over a decade. He is big enough to help keep the front of the net clear, plus he owns a good shot, solid fundamentals and a good all-around game. Spent much of his career on a shutdown pairing but is best utilized now in a reduced role. Injuries have become more of a factor late in his career.
Long Range Potential: Sage veteran defenseman in decline.
