Scouting Report
Was a huge physical specimen and also an aggressive type by nature. Liked to lay on the body and owned some decent shutdown qualities for the NHL. Was not a big point producer in the NHL, mainly because of a lack of offensive ability. Struggled against quicker forwards. Injuries were a big issue.
Long Range Potential: Physical depth defenseman, when healthy.
