A friend of mine had said that the Devils were getting something good in Salvador. A nice physical presence for the defense,
blocked a lot of shots, and could clear the crease out.
After the post-trade jitters got out of the way, he started to show that, too. He was showing just how valuable he was when he
went down to an injury... after blocking a slap shot.
He returned in time for the playoffs and picked up where he left off, even in defeat.
I did say that I would like to see what he can do with a full season in a Devils uniform, and he showed that he could, regularly.
During training camp of 2010, he had suffered an inner ear problem, what they would call a cochlear concussion. It was
effecting his equilibrium, so he would sit out the entire season so that it would clear up.
When he came back, it was a monster comeback, having a career defensive year and helping lead the Devils to being the #1
penalty kill unit in the League for 11-12. He could have easily been the Devils nominee for the Masterton, and they had a few
great choices to begin with.
