What do you guys remember of him? What kind of impact did he have?

I know he only played 1 and half season for you guys, but i always liked the guy, would be fun to hear some opinions on his stint with Tampa Bay.

The season he joined us was particularly abysmal. People were mostly disappointed he wasn't able to replicate much of the success he had on the "Legion of Doom" line, which was pretty unreasonable in hindsight. I remember him as pretty good on special teams but not much else. Just a bad year for the whole team in general so hard to be too harsh on the guy. Not an easy time to be captain, which was an odd move as well I thought, like they were trying too hard to move on from the Chris Gratton situation so they just slapped the C on the new guy.
