Scouting Report
Has excellent size for the NHL game, plus plenty of shutdown upside. Displays enough grit and toughness to enjoy a lengthy professional career. Also owns some two-way acumen. His high-end skill is not on par with a top offensive rearguard, so he will need to maximize his shutdown ability in order to become a prominent blueliner at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: All-round defenseman with some upside.
