Personal:
Plus:Uses size well... Plays simple game... Great work ethic... Devastating open-ice hitter... Will play injured... Not afraid to drop the gloves...
Minus: Skating is only adequate... Offensive skills are sub par... Injury prone... Has a tendacncy to look for the hit and get out of position...
Organizational Comments: Wings GM Ken Holland:
What GRC says: Summer 2009: A physical veteran with NHL experience, Tollefsen should help to stabilize the Griffins blueline and add some toughness. He is not the best puckhandler, but more than make up for it with aggressive, gritty play.
Role: Defensive Defenseman
Projection: NHL 5-6 Defensman
