Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is built like an NFL linebacker, which can be an intimidating sight for opponents. Skates well for a man his size and owns terrific offensive savvy and a heavy shot. Can log big minutes on defense, or play the role of power forward up front. When on his game, he makes a huge impact in a game.
Flaws
  • He can get caught at times because of a lack of first-step quickness. Also, he could stand to play with more consistency game in, game out. Moving back and forth between wing and defense has not always been the smoothest transition. He has also battled weight issues at times.
Career Potential
  • Unique offensive defenseman with the versatility to play wing.
