Scouting Report
Moved the puck quickly out of the defensive zone and was also extremely mobile. Limited his mistakes for the most part. If needed, he had the stamina to log big minutes. Lacked the physicality required to keep forwards honest in the defensive zone. Didn't shoot the puck enough and also didn't take advantage enough of his mobility in the offensive zone.
Long Range Potential: Mobile depth defenseman.
