No he's actually not very good. He's the same player the Blues put on waivers years ago leading to his trade to the Flames. He's an undersized defenseman that struggles mightily in his own end. Surely I can't be the only fan that noticed immediate improvement in the Flames defensive play when he was traded and his minutes were spread to Jokipakka and Nakladal.
