Scouting Report
A sixth-round draft pick in 2019, he made his National Hockey League debut in his first season in North America (a testament to his ability). However, injuries can be an issue for him so he needs to bulk up and become stronger physically in order to withstand the rigors of the NHL. He is at his best when he keeps his game simple, moving the puck swiftly and accurately out of danger.
Long Range Potential: Solid puck-moving defenseman (when healthy).
