I caught him on local radio in Edmonton 2 weeks ago. Very likable personality. Says last year was bad luck. Went from 14 minutes in NHL to 28 minutes in the AHL and his body didn't take kindly to that. Pulled a groin and didn't really recover. Good addition, I think. Good Taber, AB boy.
BTW, he was on in that radio segment with his buddy, Ladislav Smid. Smid is a very funny guy. Sounds like, although he is playing in Europe now, he still has issues with the neck injury that ended his career in the NHL.
