Scouting Report
Owns outstanding size for the blueline position, plus he's a right-handed shooter--which adds more overall value. Uses his stick very effectively in defensive situations. Is also a good passer. Can be a physical player. Is still somewhat raw as a defenseman, since he started his career as a forward. Also, he needs to work on his skating--in particular his lack of first-step quickness--in order to maximize output at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Big, raw defenseman with some upside.
