Scouting Report
Has never lived up to his high draft status (No. 15 overall in 2010) but continues to carve out a useful niche in a defense-first role. Is a minute muncher who can help his goaltenders by keeping the front of the net clear of opposing forwards (though he is not as physical as he should be at at 6'4"). Is not much of a contributor on offense.
Long Range Potential: Complementary defensive defenseman.
