Most of our posters have done a good job filling you in on Paul. I will add a couple more tidbits.
Your smarter fans will like him your dumber fans will not (ok I kid). Keep your expectations in check he is a solid 5-6 type but the market place thinks he is a 6-7. Every time he had to play up in the top 4 and was paired with a skilled player like Enstrom or Morrissey (think Krug) he thrived. Give him another slick puck mover and it seems to bring the best out in him. On the flip side he usually played on the bottom pairing with Junk like Chiarot or a fading Stu and those were tough situations and he could look less than perfect.
Like all bottom pairing guys you are dealing with flaws and Paul can struggle in his own zone a bit and isn't physical for his size but what he does well.....skate, move the puck, produce offense 5v5 per 60 he does quite well.
I always liked Posty and he was the best of our worst group but he also had his mouth breathing detractors so proceed with caution. Sucks for Paul he is back in a place with too many right handers but oh well.
Nice pick up wish he was still a Jet.
