Scouting Report
He put up points on a consistent basis as an NHL defensemen thanks to his mobility, offensive instincts and an ability to quarterback the power play. His problems came in his own zone, where a lack of size and strength limited his usefulness. He was at his very best when he played down in the lineup–but got plenty of power-play time.
Long Range Potential: Solid offensive defenseman.
