Scouting Report
Owns very good size for the blueline position at the National Hockey League level. Can play on both sides of the ice at the highest level, which adds to his overall value. Does not have a lot of offensive acumen, even at lower levels, so he will sink or swim with his ability to defend his position seemlessly at the NHL level.
Long Range Potential: Steady defenseman with a little upside.
