THE SKINNY:
One of the rising stars in the league, he impressed a lot of people with an outstanding performance for the Oilers in the playoffs last season... Scored some points with the folks at Canadian Hockey when he played for Canada at last year's world championships... As the youngest player on Team Canada's defence, he could wind up being the seventh man on the blue line, but will benefit from the experience... Big and mobile, his skating ability will serve him well on the big ice surface... Was the New York Islanders second pick (fifth overall) in 1997 and is turning out to be another fine young defenceman traded away by Islanders GM Mike Milbury...

FAMOUS FOR:
