Scouting Report
Was a solid power-play performer blessed with a blistering shot from the point. Skated very well and possessed great quickness. Adept in the transition game, he liked to lug the puck up ice and had excellent offensive instincts. Was below average in terms of his size (5-10, 192 pounds) for NHL defensemen, so he had trouble handling big forwards at the highest level. Was somewhat injury-prone, as well, and wore down physically over time.
Long Range Potential: Quality offensive defenseman.
