Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can pinch in from the point and make accurate passes out of the defensive zone. Plays with poise and owns a good shot from the point. Can play a shutdown role.
Flaws
  • Must learn how to withstand the pounding in the NHL for 82 games, since he tends to get injured a lot. Is vulnerable in physical contests. Isn't great at putting up points or using his size.
Career Potential
  • Fragile shutdown defenseman.
