Scouting Report

Assets
  • Displays a combination of physical presence and potential production. Has the tools to become a solid all-around defenseman. Is as tough as nails.
Flaws
  • Isn't as valuable in the post-lockout NHL because he tends to play the clutch-and-grab game too much. Needs to avoid taking bad penalties.
Career Potential
  • Top six defenseman.
