Scouting Report
Displayed good hockey sense. Skated fairly well, was fearless and could log a lot of ice time in the NHL. Could also play a physical game, despite his lack of size. Was a leader in the dressing room. Did not put up great offensive totals in the NHL. Struggled with consistency issues in all areas of the game. Became prone to significant injuries over time, which eventually cut his career short.
Long Range Potential: Diminutive but sound defenseman and leader.
