Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has excellent mobility, sound puck-moving skills and the ability to jump up into the play. Possesses plenty of offensive acumen, including the ability to quarterback a power play. Will also distribute hits, when necessary.
Flaws
  • Is an undersized defender that can struggle when up against physical forwards in front of his own net. Needs to add more bulk. Can at times cough up the puck under pressure.
Career Potential
  • Offensive defenseman.
