Scouting Report
Has outstanding offensive instincts, plus the mobility to join the rush consistently and with aplomb. Can also be a factor on the power play. His skating is well above average, and he is comfortable playing on either side of the ice (which adds to his overall value). Lacks optimum size and strength, which he needs to gain in order to maximize output at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Talented defenseman with upside.
