Scouting Report
Has good size and the ability to defend his position efficiently. Can sprinkle in some offense but is mostly a defensive defender who also moves the puck well out of trouble. Complements any type of defensive partner because of his steadiness. Could stand to utilize his size a little more, especially at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Solid, steady defender.
