Scouting Report
Could log a ton of minutes in the NHL. Skated very well and was usually in sound position on the ice. Made a very good first pass out of his own end. Had decent offensive instincts. Could jump up into the play well. Was not as effective in physical contests as he was when the game was more passive. Could occasionally make a critical blunder in the defensive zone when pressured with the puck. Lacked a bit of consistency.
Long Range Potential: Solid, mobile defenseman.
