Scouting Report
The smallish right-shooting defenseman came right to the NHL after four seasons at the University of Michigan and showed potential. He is fearless despite his lack of size, and is more than willing to go into the corners and take a hit to make a play. He knows how to use his smarts to get the puck out of tough situations and has the skills to be used on the power play.
Long Range Potential: Smart, skilled defenseman.
