Scouting Report
He is the picture of confidence with the puck, a smooth skater who knows where to go with the puck and what to do with it. He is a fine power-play quarterback who has a big shot, but he can also distribute the puck. Can carry the puck out of trouble or move it with a slick first pass. Is not the greatest in his own zone and not much of a physical presence, but his skills with the puck more than make up for his shortcomings.
Long Range Potential: Excellent offensive defenseman.
