Scouting Report
The 2020 Hobey Baker Memorial Award winner as the top player in college hockey is the picture of confidence with the puck on his stick. He is small for a defenseman but has a history of putting up big offensive numbers at lower levels, especially when quarterbacking the power play. His lack of size and strength is a problem when he has to defend against bigger forwards, and injuries are already a problem.
Long Range Potential: Smallish but talented offensive defenseman.
