He was a great defenseman and one of the best of his era but he simply crossed the line far too often and makes Chris Pronger look like a choir boy in comparison.
The kind of points he would have put up in this era of hockey would have been game changing. Not that they weren't back in that day, but i could easily see him being a point and a half per game player. He did a PPG at that level back then, while not being the biggest guy back then. In this new era, he would be average size, but with his discipline to the game and his body, would have been an absolute powerhouse.

I wish he would have been able to get to 1000 games.
