Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is very mobile and a good skating defenseman. Moves the puck quickly and efficiently out of the defensive zone, and can also provide his team with offense.
Flaws
  • Isn't physical at all for a 6-3, 206 pounder, which limits his overall effectiveness in the defensive zone. Can also make mistakes inside his own end with the puck.
Career Potential
  • Mobile puck-moving defenseman.
