Scouting Report
His offensive skills got him to the NHL, but the rest of his game has improved by leaps and bounds. Is an excellent puck mover and a superb passer, who is confident with the puck and can put it on a teammate's tape. Has to get stronger to improve his shutdown ability and better cope with the pounding that NHL defensemen take.
Long Range Potential: Smooth-skating, puck-moving defenseman.
