Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has been one of the toughest defensemen to beat one-on-one throughout his career. Always plays a smart game in the defensive zone and is terrific in transition. Is still nasty but has learned to pick his spots.
Flaws
  • Can no longer supply his club with quality offensive production or huge amounts of ice time. Has definitely lost a step over time.
Career Potential
  • Future Hall-of-Fame defenseman.
