Still no penalty minutes. D-men that contend for Lady Byng Trophies almost have to be All-Stars. His points going down, in the AHL, doesn't overly concern me, if the guy is concentrating on his own zone. 6PM this year. His career PM indicate added aggression would be a prime thing for him to concentrate upon. It's tough being a soft D-man in the NHL. Even if he's the right size, it makes you small. Little doubt in my mind he can move the puck. So could Norm MacIver, Greg Hawgood, MA Bergeron... and a host of others that never got a chance at the NHL level. I predict a slow NHL transition.
Tyson Barrie may have usurped him on the depth chart.
