Salei had a booming slap shot and could pass, but his role in Anaheim was to be a shutdown defenseman, and he excelled in that role. Salei brought a formidable and rugged presence to the Ducks' blueline, and though he wasn't scoring, he expertly stopped others from doing the same.
Sadly, Salei was one of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team members who all died in a plane crash in 2011.
