Scouting Report
Has enough offensive skills that NHL teams keep him around, but has rarely stayed in the same place for more than a couple of seasons because of his work in the defensive zone; he tends to make more mistakes than his coaches are comfortable with. He has a hard shot from the point, good size (6’2”) and can contribute physically, but he simply has to be more careful with the puck.
Long Range Potential: Depth defenseman.
