Scouting Report
Owned impressive size and strength, and loved to initiate contact in the defensive zone. Was usually a stabilizing force as a stay-at-home defender. Worked hard and led by example. Did not have a lot of offensive ability and could struggle a little when up against quick forwards. Also did not own great footwork or coordination. Injuries were a big problem.
Long Range Potential: Physical defenseman and leader, when healthy.
