As a Devils' fan I wish him well, he was good when the team wasn't. I'm glad he had one last run with them but the team has too many young players waiting in the wings to spend that much on a defenseman in his back years. Also the return was a 3rd which is much better than I had expected, I was thinking a 5th; 4th if they were lucky.
He's a solid defenceman though? He's only 28. This seems like a solid deal for the BJ's?
He's a good 2-way defenseman, usually commits 1-2 gaffes a game which had put him in the doghouse with a lot of fans. Its certainly not a bad deal for Columbus by any means, but more than the Devils could afford to spend on him given their defensive pipeline.
