Scouting Report
Moves the puck well and has good speed, enabling him to lug the puck out of the zone or start a play by hitting a teammate in stride. Will not produce big offensive numbers but can contribute in the offensive zone. Is not the most physical defenseman and can struggle a bit when trying to shut down bigger opponents.
Long Range Potential: Mobile puck-moving defenseman.
