Scouting Report

Assets
  • Excels when his team is killing penalties. Has good stay-at-home qualities from the back end. Plays the game with smarts and possesses excellent size for an NHL blueliner.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have a lot to offer in the offensive zone, and also doesn't make the most of his huge frame. Is somewhat injury-prone and can occasionally make blunders in the defensive zone.
Career Potential
  • Stay-at-home defenseman.
