Scouting Report
Had excellent size and offensive instincts from the blueline position. Displayed the ability to make a great breakout pass and handle power-play duties. Was also a very smooth skater. A foot issue ended his playing career prematurely. Was prone to occasional mental breakdowns in the defensive zone. Did not make enough good use of his imposing frame. Did not shoot the puck enough.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent but mobile and talented defenseman, when healthy.
