Scouting Report
Had excellent stay-at-home and shutdown qualities. Kept his game simple. Used his reach effectively. Was capable of playing on either side of the ice. Concussion issues curtailed his NHL career. Did not make great use of his imposing frame, since he was a bit too passive for his size. Did not own much offensive ability.
Long Range Potential: Defensive defenseman, when healthy.
