Scouting Report

Assets
  • Uses his reach effectively. Is capable of playing on either side of the ice. Has excellent stay-at-home qualities.
Flaws
  • Needs to make better use of his imposing frame, since he's a bit too passive by NHL standards. Doesn't own offensive upside.
Career Potential
  • Defensive defenseman.
