Scouting Report
A defenseman who put up good offensive numbers in junior hockey, he has not shown those kind of skills since turning pro. His size is an attribute, as is his steadiness. He is a right-handed shooter, which is a plus, but has to become more physical and aggressive without wearing a path to the penalty box.
Long Range Potential: Depth defenseman.
