Scouting Report
Initiates contact from the back end. Owns a good shot from the point. Is defensively responsible and able to log big minutes. Can fight, too. Has all-around appeal and agitating qualities, as well. Plays an aggressive style that runs into injuries over the course of an 82-game NHL schedule. Does take bad penalties that hurt his club on occasion. Lacks consistency in all facets of the game.
Long Range Potential: Veteran defenseman in decline, when healthy.
