Scouting Report

Assets
  • Plays with a lot of confidence with the puck. Quite gritty for a player his size, he owns plenty of offensive upside and moves the puck up ice with aplomb. Has great wheels.
Flaws
  • A lack of size and strength hinders his ability to defend big forwards at the NHL level. Is also prone to mental lapses. He lacks consistency on offense.
Career Potential
  • Undersized but mobile defenseman with some upside.
