[edit] Playing career

Known for his big open-ice hits and turtling up in fights, the physical, defensive player was the Calgary Flames' first-round draft pick, 20th overall, in the 1995 Entry Draft. He made his NHL debut in 1997 and has since established himself as a powerful presence on the blue line.

He played only the first round of the Flames' 2004 playoff run after suffering a knee injury in Game 6 against the Vancouver Canucks in the first round. He later underwent surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament on 21 May.

In the 2004 off-season, he was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes in a deal also involving Daymond Langkow and Oleg Saprykin.

In 2006 he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers in a deal involving Josh Gratton and 2 second round draft picks.
