Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has tremendous size and reach. Is extremely difficult to play against, and excels on the penalty kill. Can log a lot of minutes.
Flaws
  • As is usually the case with big defenders, skating is his downfall. Doesn't have the speed to compensate if out of position. Has offensive limitations.
Career Potential
  • Top six defenseman.
