Scouting Report
Was adept at logging big minutes and was a sound defender. Moved the puck quickly and efficiently out of the defensive zone. Knew when to pinch in from the point. Was capable of playing on either side of the ice. A serious knee issue hurt his all-around acumen and limited him to some extent. Was not overly physical. Did not produce high-end offensive numbers at the NHL level.
Long Range Potential: Solid defenseman, when healthy.
