Scouting Report
Returned to the NHL after one season in the KHL, where he showed vastly improved offensive chops (and his 5’10” frame was less of a hindrance). Moved the puck well and had good mobility. Was not strong enough to knock many opponents off the puck or win a lot of battles in the corners, which limited his usefulness at the highest level. Was a very good teammate.
Long Range Potential: Depth defenseman.
