Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a strong skater who is not afraid to jump up into the play. Has above average hockey sense and an ability to find the open man. Can also play wing, so his versatility helps his team.
Flaws
  • Lacks NHL size, particularly for a defenseman. Can be prone to defensive lapses, and his lack of strength hurts him when defending against big NHL forwards.
Career Potential
  • Versatile depth defenseman.
