The past 2 seasons have been up and down for Darth Vader, who took home a Gold medal in 2012 at the World Junior Championship despite being relegated to a very limited role. Vader played 42 games in his first NHL season, netting 4 pts in the bottom defensive pairing.
There's no doubt about it, Vader's playmaking abilities are being sorely neglected in Philadelphia. Perhaps it's time for the young defenseman to look for a team where he'll have more opportunity to contribute offensively?
