Scouting Report
Still has good range and mobility, but he is not much of an offensive factor now that he is in his 30s. Needs to make better use of his reach and tighten up his play defensively to maintain a job in the National Hockey League. Has a wealth of experience in the pro game, so he is a solid depth option for any NHL squad.
Long Range Potential: Journeyman depth defenseman.
