Scouting Report
Had terrific size and mobility from the back end. Displayed both decent offensive instincts and a sound defensive approach. Was also a low-maintenance defender who could log a lot of ice time, if required. At 6-4, 225 pounds, he didn't make good use of his imposing frame at all. Was quite lacking in consistency (especially from year to year) and rarely raised his game to another level.
Long Range Potential: Savvy defenseman.
