Hockey Player

The Resume

    (April 23, 1977- )
    Born in Port McNeill, British Columbia, Canada
    Drafted 199th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft
    Defenseman for the New Jersey Devils (2000-01), Minnesota Wild (2001-06), Dallas Stars (2006), Vancouver Canucks (2006-10), Los Angeles Kings (2010-14) and the Florida Panthers

Why he might be annoying:

    He saw little playing time in New Jersey, who then decided to trade him instead of develop him in their system.
    Despite being a mainstay on the Wild's defensive corps, he was traded to Dallas for basically little in return.
    He is extremely injury prone.
    He has been accused of playing with an illegally curved stick.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is considered one of hockey's best shutdown defensemen.
    He signed with the Canucks in order to play in front of his family.
    He cracked a bone in his vertebrae and managed to play ten games in pain before being diagnosed.
    He served as the Wild's team captain on several occasions as part of the team's rotating captaincy plan.
    When Roberto Luongo's captaincy was limited, the team appointed him in charge of talking to on-ice officials during games.
