Scouting Report
Could play a sound defensive game, log big minutes and also be used in a shutdown role. Moved the puck well out of the defensive zone. Had loads of hockey sense. Could also be used in an offensive role, if required. Was not a physical defenseman, which somewhat limited his effectiveness against big NHL forwards. Was also a limited contributor in the offensive zone and not a natural fit as a point man on the power play. Lacked ideal size.
Long Range Potential: Savvy, solid defenseman.
