Scouting Report
The veteran defenseman moves the puck well and can join the rush effectively. Is able to play either side of the ice and can contribute on both special teams, meaning he can log a lot of ice time. Is not big by today's NHL standards and can be overwhelmed at times by larger forwards. At times, he can be guilty of paying too much attention to his offense and neglecting his defensive responsibilities.
Long Range Potential: Veteran puck-moving defenseman who can play a lot of minutes.
