Scouting Report
Was a great shot-blocking defenseman. Had tremendous size and reach. Excelled on the penalty kill. Had pretty good hockey sense. Was also a team leader and fantastic team-first guy. Had skating deficiencies that hurt his overall effectiveness, since he could get beat to the outside and struggled with his straightaway speed. Wasn't much of an offensive threat.
Long Range Potential: Mammoth, savvy defenseman.
