Scouting Report
Was a quality asset in the offensive zone. Skated well due to an effortless stride. Had offensive ability, liked to join the attack and could quarterback a power play. Owned a projectable frame. Made a lot of bad mistakes with the puck and struggled to clean things up defensively. A bad back forced him to retire prematurely.
Long Range Potential: Mobile, offensive defenseman with defensive issues.
