Scouting Report
Excels in puck movement. Has excellent mobility from the back end, as well as some offensive ability. Also owns an accurate point shot. Is fairly low-maintenance. Is not an optimum candidate to quarterback the power play at the National Hockey League level. Could stand to get even stronger in order to maximize output.
Long Range Potential: Solid, puck-moving defenseman with a little upside.
