Scouting Report
Has great size for the blueline position, plus the physicality to go with it (he loves to punish opponents). Also produced good offensive numbers at the junior level. Is right-handed, which also adds value. Needs to improve his defensive-zone coverage and become a steadier rearguard, in general. Must also avoid taking too many bad penalties that will hurt his team. Will not put up huge numbers in the NHL.
Long Range Potential: Big, solid defenseman with a little upside.
