Scouting Report
Is no stranger to physical play, as he likes to punish opponents with hits. He also can drop the gloves. Can be a sound defender at lower levels. Is undersized for the NHL, so he must prove capable of playing his abrasive style at the highest level. Also lacks some finesse and high-end skill.
Long Range Potential: Journeyman defenseman.
