Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is at his best when used (a lot) in a shutdown role. Has good size, mobility and the potential to play an all-around game from the back end. He limits mistakes and is strong with the puck in his own zone.
Flaws
  • Needs to make better use of his 6-3, 213-pound frame in order to keep pro forwards more honest. Must also continue to work on his shot from the point.
Career Potential
  • Big-minute shutdown defenseman with a little upside.
