Scouting Report
The mobile defenseman has improved defensively to go along with the offensive capabilities that have carried him into the pros. He plays a smart, up-tempo game, and his great skating ability and point shot make him dangerous in transition. His lack of size could be a problem in his own zone; playing with a big partner would help.
Long Range Potential: Solid offensive defenseman.
