Scouting Report
Is incredibly mobile and quite aggressive by nature. At 6'2", he owns a fairly projectable frame. Can put up points from the back end but it often comes at a price, since he has a tendency to get out of position a lot. Could stand to add more bulk for the rigors of the pro game. Must continue to work on his defensive-zone coverage and play without the puck. Has great stamina and can log big minutes (when he is playing at his best). Has the lateral mobility to play on either side of the ice, which adds value.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, mobile defenseman with some untapped upside.
