His first full season was in 2000-01, when he finished with 22 points in 69 games. He was traded to Tampa Bay in 2001, where he developed into one of the top offensive defensemen in the NHL, recording 53 points in both 2002-03 and 2005-06. He won his first Stanley Cup with the Lightning in 2004, and spent the following season with Djurgardens IF of the Elitserien.
