33 years old. Still a decent checker--good character guy but he's not particularly fast or strong anymore. He's the type of player you move out for a younger, faster guy.
Rangers left wing situation at the moment--Anisimov, Dubinsky, Hagelin, Rupp and Kreider on the way.
I don't look for him to have a huge playoffs. He's had a couple fantastic playoff seasons but he's also had others that weren't so hot.

He was a monster in the playoffs last year. Battled like a champion on the boards, was out-physicaling everyone on the Caps, didn't score but had 2 assists. He was great on the PK, but of course, he isn't a superstar so he was overlooked for what he contributed. I think he can replicate his performance of last year in this year's tournament, but I'm not saying he's going to be 2004 Fedotenko and lead the team to the Stanley Cup as a lead scorer. He's good enough for the role he is assigned on this team, which is not a top 6 scorer.
