What GRC says: 2007-08: Insana had an up and down season fighting inconsistency and injury before losing his regular spot in the lineup to Jozsa. A fine skating defenseman, Jon doesn't have the size or strength to be effective one on one and must learn to use his speed and stick to keep the puck out of trouble. Did not seem able to build on last season's strong finish and was plagued by inconsistency as he adapted to the new defensive scheme.
2006-07: Insana remade his game from gambling offensive defenseman to a steady stay at home type, and it paid off for him. Using his great skating and new defensive responsibility, Jon earned a contract and displaced a couple of regulars to garner a spot on the blueline in the playoffs.
Fall 06: A smooth skating offensive defenseman, Insana is back for another go around with the Griffins. |
