Scouting Report

The lanky defenseman can skate well for his size and he contributes a little offense, though he is unlikely to put up a huge amount of points at the NHL level. He is solid but not extremely physical in his own zone, and he can be dangerous in transition because of his mobility and length. Consistency has been an issue for him, so it is an area that needs improvement for NHL success.

Long Range Potential: Big, all-around project defenseman with upside.
