Reading a little bit from Blackhawks reporters and bloggers it sounds like he was still the same player last year.
Honestly, given he doesn't look like anything better than a bottom-pairing defenceman, I wouldn't have acquired him in the first place. Frankly he looks like a replacement-level player to me.
A couple years at somewhere less than $4M AAV is really all I'd offer him, and even then I think that's a big waste of money.

If only young defensemen could improve over time.
He is not a replacement level defenseman. And he won't get paid like one.
