The lone number 1 pick the Scouts/Rockies/Devils franchise ever had wasn't exactly a total hit for the team. Granted, there was
a reason he was a top prospect for the draft. He was a tough guy on the backline, could kill penalties, lead a power play, etc.
But once he joined the Rockies after a season in the WHA, things were a mess with the defense corps, and he was expected to
help turn it around. He struggled to do so, and his playing habits suffered for it.
He would request a trade, and would get it after the move to New Jersey was finalized. He would correct his habits with the
Blues and ultimately became the solid NHL defenseman many projected for him.
Look at it this way, though: if it wasn't for him, the Devils wouldn't have been able to draft John MacLean. Thanks, Rob.
Post-retirement, he had been a broker for a Missouri brach of Wachovia Securities until 2009. In late 2011, after Dale Hunter
was hired to be the Capitals' head coach, he was hired as an assistant for the London Knights, where Hunter was the head man
at the time.
The drinking problems: I don't want to get into.
