Scouting Report
Was a good puck mover who usually limited his mistakes. Played with poise and could also contribute a little bit of offense. Was a low-maintenance defender. Lacked optimum size for the blueline position at the National Hockey League level, and at times struggled with the smaller ice surfaces in North America. Lacked physicality. His playing career came to an early end because of hip issues.
Long Range Potential: Depth defenseman.
