Scouting Report
Is a very good skater. Also displays both offensive and defensive instincts, though mostly at lower levels. Can be an effective asset with the man advantage. Is at his best when he has the puck on his stick. Needs to become stronger, and also play with a greater sense of urgency. Also, he must continue to work on his defensive-zone coverage in order to maximize output.
Long Range Potential: Mobile depth defenseman.
