Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a silky smooth skater with tremendous lateral movement. Rushes up the ice with the puck well. Owns a deceptive point shot and is adept with the man advantage. Also owns leadership qualities.
Flaws
  • Is a little undersized for the blue-line position in the NHL, so he struggles on occasion against bigger forwards. Must limit his mistakes in the defensive zone in order to maximize his all-around potential.
Career Potential
  • All-around defenseman.
