| Scouting Report |
| Offensive defenseman who is an excellent skater.
Moves the puck well with both his passing and skating ability. Makes a
great first pass. Handles pressure well and makes good decisions. Loves
to join the rush. Can quarterback the power play and has an excellent
one-timer. Defensive game needs work. Some scouts say he is soft in his
own end and will shy away from physical play. Doesn't have great size,
so he'll need to add some bulk. |
