Veteran 'D' who is nearing the end of a solid career.
At this stage he's a 6th or 7th defenceman who can be moved in and out of the lineup. A bit of a security blanket. Averages around 14:00 TOI when dressed. Deployed at ES and PK.
Pushes back along the wall and out front his net. No issues blocking shots.
Skating is barely at the NHL level. When he starts to break down his pace can be exposed.
Leans 'Defensive D' overall.
