Scouting Report

Has great skating ability and puck-moving skills. Can add offense from the back end and is good at leading the rush. Displays a bit of physicality in his game, as well. That said, he is not overly big and must add more weight and bulk in order to withstand the rigors of the NHL.

Long Range Potential: Mobile puck-moving defenseman.
