Scouting Report
Had the prototypical size (6'3", 217 pounds) all NHL scouts look for in a defenseman. Also moved the puck fairly well and could log big minutes in spurts. Lacked game-to-game consistency. Did not have natural physicality, despite his stature. Injuries were a factor for him, and eventually led to an early retirement.
Long Range Potential: Big, inconsistent defenseman.
