CAREER INFO:
Drafted in the first round, 17th overall, by Washington in the 1984 entry draft. Acquired from Dallas for Sergei Zubov on Draft Day, 1996...has accumulated 208 career goals in 960 regular season games...40% of his career goals have come on the power play...younger brother Derian plays for Dallas, and older brother Mark played in the AHL.

PLAYING STYLE:
Can easily anticipate passes to create offensive opportunities...is easily checked, and gives up a lot of turnovers...may be the largest finesse defensman in the league...lack of use of his size makes him an unwanted player in most cities...but he will almost always have a spot on the Penguin defensive "corps."
