Scouting Report
Was rather mobile and could log big minutes in the NHL. Had pretty good size and could do a little bit of everything reasonably well. Was at his best when he played a smooth, steady game. Did not play a physical game at all and could struggle against very aggressive opponents. Was also not a natural power-play quarterback at the NHL level. His offensive game declined rather quickly.
Long Range Potential: Steady, mobile big-minute defenseman.
