Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has tremendous size and skating ability. Was mature enough to handle a conversion from right wing to defense in almost flawless fashion.
Flaws
  • Is still a little raw for the blue-line position and makes mental errors from time to time. Needs to use his physical gifts more to his advantage.
Career Potential
  • All-around star defenseman.
