Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a smooth skater with exceptional hockey sense and puck-moving control, dangle and goal-scoring ability. He's getting faster and loves to pounce on the attack. Also possesses a booming slap shot, which he uses to produce on the power play.
Flaws
  • Size is somewhat of an issue for him, as he's smallish for the blueline position at the NHL level. So, he needs to keep getting stronger. Struggles with defensive-zone coverage.
Career Potential
  • Mega-talented offensive defenseman with big upside.
  • Awards2011Named to play in the NHL All-Star Game2010Named to play in the NHL All-Star Game
