Scouting Report
Has all the attributes NHL teams are looking for in a defenseman: good size, a projectable body type, excellent skating skills and the ability to move the puck. As a bonus, he is a right-handed shot. He is good in transition and has a physical edge to his game. Still has room to improve in terms of puck management, and is best when he does not try to do too much or try to force things offensively.
Long Range Potential: Promising young defenseman.
