Scouting Report
Reversed his career trend in his late 20s and has become a useful NHL defenseman by cutting down on mistakes and playing a steady, no-frills game. Is an effective player in his own zone at even strength and also a useful penalty killer. He does not do a whole lot offensively but defends his position well.
Long Range Potential: Huge depth defenseman.
