Scouting Report
Plays a safe game and limits his mistakes on the back end. Is reliable and dependable, capable of logging important minutes. Moves the puck fairly well, too. For a player with good size, he does not use it nearly enough to intimidate opponents physically. That must change in order to maximize output in the NHL.
Long Range Potential: Big, reliable defenseman with a little upside.
