Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has plenty of offensive capability, including the ability to play the point on the power play. Is aggressive by nature.
Flaws
  • Needs to improve his work without the puck. Lacks the ideal size of an NHL defenseman, so he must become a better positional rearguard.
Career Potential
  • Top six defenseman.
