Scouting Report
Had great mobility and intelligence from behind the blueline. Could put up points at lower levels and be used on the power play at any level, if need be. Was a little undersized for the NHL, and he also lacked a consistent physical dimension to his game. Didn't use his offensive gifts enough at the NHL level.
Long Range Potential: Mobile depth defenseman.
