Scouting Report

Has a great combination of size and skating ability. Can be used in a shutdown role but he also offers a fair amount of offensive flair. Can maximize output by becoming more assertive and display optimum physicality at the National Hockey League level. Can do it all on the ice.

Long Range Potential: Excellent all-around defenseman.
