Scouting Report
His mobility and skill help make him useful in almost any situation, though he is not necessarily ideal on the power play because he lacks a big shot from the point. He can play huge minutes effectively, and the puck is usually headed in the right direction when he is on the ice. He can play with almost any type of partner, adjusting his game accordingly.
Long Range Potential: Steady, reliable minute-munching defenseman.
