What? Do tell
He used to be a below-average-speed guy, but it was acceptable on the 3rd pair because we'd use him on our 2nd PP unit where he was just barely good enough to justify his roster spot.
Now, after his injury, he's slower than tectonic shifts in an ice age and is still just as lazy transitioning into his own zone as he was before the injury, but it's far more glaring now that he's lost a gear.
If you guys use him as a PP specialist and keep a really defensive D-man with him at all times at even-strength, it could work out for you guys. Just don't expect any of his stats from before this season to be relevant with his new weaker gearbox. He might put up some numbers if you guys are going to give him some dedicated powerplay minutes, just don't expect him to hustle to cover the back 150 feet of the ice.
