I'd do it. He's remembered as bad defensively, especially in the cup final but that's likely due to his heavily increased minutes and having more pressure on him to perform. I think he's similar to Bieksa in that you control his minutes and have him as a piece in the puzzle rather than focus on him being your #1 guy. He was a +50 in his time here and ~ 0.6PPG. Due to the powerplay, obviously.
With the rumour that WD wants to bring in Doug Lidster as an assistant, and Lidster is one of the highest scoring Canucks defensemen of all time, that could be an interesting dynamic. Although Lidster was a career -90...
Some team is going to pay him 4 - 5M on a 5yr term, if that's what he wants though.
