Scouting Report

Assets
  • Boasts an awesome frame and the ability to play an intimidating physical game from behind the blue-line. Is willing to mix it up and usually plays a smooth game from the back end.
Flaws
  • Is a little uncoordinated and somewhat raw in the nuances of the game. Also doesn't have a lot of offensive acumen, so he can struggle with the puck in the attacking zone.
Career Potential
  • Physical defensive defenseman.
