Scouting Report
Is a huge defenseman who can excel in a shutdown role, especially as he continues to learn how to use his size to its max. Not likely to put up big offensive numbers, but he can move the puck adequately and has a heavy point shot. Continues to show he is worthy of more playing time as his game matures, and he is a good partner for an offensive defenseman.
Long Range Potential: Big shutdown defenseman.
