Scouting Report
Logged big minutes along the blueline and also provided leadership. Owned one of the hardest point shots in the NHL (when he got the chance to let it go). Usually kept the game simple from the back end. Could hit and fight. Could be beaten one on one, since he was only an average skater. His offensive production was inconsistent, as was his decision-making with and without the puck. Declined in terms of his overall play at the end of his career.
Long Range Potential: Quality, savvy big-minute defenseman.
