Assets: Moves the puck well from the back end and is mobile. Also has NHL size for a defenseman, as well as late-blooming overall ability. Can dominate the game at lower levels.
Flaws: Doesn't display enough game-to-game consistency in the NHL. Makes mistakes with and without the puck. Must also avoid taking bad penalties that really hurt his team.
Career Potential: Puck-moving depth defenseman.

But seriously. When you're a defensemen, and EDMONTON is waiving you....chances are you're not that good.
Exactly. Edmonton is brutal defensively. He will be scratched every night for the bruins.

This seems like the NHL equivalent of the high school report card comment, "Cannot Be Depended on to do the Right Thing in Any Situation."

I can't believe SSF didn't have a Corey Potter banner ready for this occasion.
