Brendan is a wonderful person and obviously we expect him to be one of the strongest dmen in the league on the ice. He’s a student of the game from a hockey family - his Dad played in the NHL and his sister is a long time member of the Canadian Olympic team. As we all know, so much of the game depends on having that quality defenice that prevents getting hemmed in, can move the puck up quickly and also join the rush. Brendan is all of that. Excellent skater for his size and still in the prime of his career at 33. Very lucky to get him.
