Scouting Report
Is a massive physical specimen who can log a ton of minutes. Is also extremely reliable in his own end. Offensively, he has a huge shot from the point and decent puck-moving skills. Needs to fill out his 6-7 frame in order to maximize output at the National Hockey League level. Must also continue to work on his defensive consistency. Is not a natural offensive D-man.
Long Range Potential: Mammoth defenseman with upside.
