Scouting Report
As an offensive defenseman, he has all the tools for success. He is an excellent skater, can carry the puck, make plays and quarterback the power play. It is his play when he is not involved in the attack that has held him back. He is not very physical and has to improve markedly in his own zone for his offensive skills to come to the fore.
Long Range Potential: Depth defenseman.
