Scouting Report
The third player taken (after Sidney Crosby and Bobby Ryan) in the 2005 NHL Draft is still a good skater as he moves through his mid-30s, though he has never been the kind of offensive threat his draft status implied he would be. He is still a physical presence but has been known to take himself out of position to make a hit. At this stage of his career, he needs to keep his game simple to succeed. Excels on the penalty kill.
Long Range Potential: Veteran depth defenseman.
