No he didn't. He had a few brutal games just like everyone else on the team, but he was solid for the most part after the first few games of the season. I wouldn't want to see him on the top pairing again, but he's an adequate bottom pairing guy. I'd much rather keep him for a year until younger guys are ready to step in rather than going out and overpaying on a long term deal for a better D-man.
