Scouting Report
Has all the skills needed to be a solid two-way defenseman but has yet to develop the consistency needed to thrive at the NHL level. Is very mobile and aggressive with good offensive abilities. However, he drives coaches crazy at times by getting caught out of position. Needs to improve his defensive-zone coverage to make the most of his attacking skills. Can play big minutes in any situation, so he does have value.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent but toolsy and talented defenseman.
