Scouting Report
Remains an effective puck-moving defenseman though he is well into his 30s. Is still blessed with great mobility and has the veteran smarts to know when to jump into the play. Has always been a consistent point producer from the blueline and can play in all situations. Lacks the size teams usually want on defense but continues to make up for it with his smarts and willingness to adapt.
Long Range Potential: Reliable, two-way veteran defenseman.
