[edit] Playing career
Known for his big open-ice hits, this 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. He later underwent surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament on May 21.
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 for Josh Gratton and 2 second round draft picks.
In October 2007 he was waived by the Philadelphia Flyers and assigned to the Philadelphia Phantoms.
