Scouting Report
The offensive-minded defenseman was good enough to play in Finland's Liiga as a 17-year-old before being taken in the first round of the 2019 NHL Draft. He is an excellent skater who can move the puck and log big minutes. Needs to get stronger to help his play in the defensive zone (and also to avoid injuries). Should also use his stick more actively.
Long Range Potential: Talented defenseman with upside.
