Scouting Report
Skated well and also had good strength in his skating due to a strong lower base. Was a puck mover with very good offensive instincts. A tad short by National Hockey League defensemen standards, he struggled against forwards with both a height and reach advantage.
Long Range Potential: Depth defenseman.
