Big stay @ home d-man... Quite tough too.
Kind of from the Shane O'brien mold.

From Sportsnet Scouting report:
Assets
Is a huge physical specimen and also an aggressive type by nature. Likes to lay on the body and owns some shutdown qualities.
Flaws
Will never be a big point producer in the NHL. Struggles against quicker forwards that surpass him on the outside.
Career potential
No. 6 or 7 defenseman.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Andrew Alberts, a 6'-5" depth defenseman from Philly.
Slow, penalty-prone, stay-at-home guy who will hit and hit and hit all game long. He'll fight too, but he's not great at it.

And last, but not least, I KNOW Cody Hodgson is going to make Gary Lawless (of Winnipeg journalistic fame) look like the idiot that he is. Cody has pressure to rise to NHL level play, but I believe he will rise above it and win the Calder. I said it here, today...remember that.

From what I've seen of him, he's basically 'Shane O'Brien version 2.0'... but with worse hands.
Shane's better/more poised with the puck.

Didn't we sign Rome to do the same job? I guess they will fight for the 6th spot if this is true. How about looking at signing a puckmover. I am still hoping for Zubov.
To add you our young group of players Sundin and Zubov at old man discounts would be great.
Edit: Double Post somehow.
