Scouting Report
A smallish but solid all-around defenseman, he is mobile enough to skate pucks out of trouble and he closes gaps well. He can make plays off the rush, although he is not going to pick defenses apart. His lack of ideal size prevents him from being a physical force in his own end, so he needs to mature and get stronger.
Long Range Potential: Two-way defenseman.
