Scouting Report
Looked after his own zone first and foremost, but also possessed some puck-moving ability. Rarely got caught out of position and was an excellent skater. Did not produce enough points for his skill level, since he rarely ventured away from his comfort zone. Was also not as physical as he should have been. Injuries were a problem for him at the NHL level.
Long Range Potential: Solid, big-minute defenseman.
