Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is well-rounded, mobile and capable of logging huge minutes. Isn't shy about laying on the body and displays a lot of offensive acumen. Is stronger than his 6-0 frame suggests.
Flaws
  • Will at times try to do too much, which often has negative results for his team. He's a little prone to injury, since he plays bigger than his size.
Career Potential
  • Inconsistent all-around defenseman.
