Scouting Report
The big (6’3”), rugged defenseman can play huge minutes and is at his best in a shutdown role. He will never put up big offensive numbers, which keeps him from getting a lot of the credit he deserves, but when he is on the ice, the puck is usually headed in the right direction. Has been hampered by injuries at key times.
Long Range Potential: Underrated, big-minute defenseman.
