defenseman. He plays the position quite well and he's mature
above his years."Scott White, Iowa Stars Director of
Hockey Operations
"One of the most prolific all-around athletes
to come out of Iron Range in recently memory.... Has a
great awareness and vision on the ice that you don't
often see in high school players. His acceleration and
passing ability jumped out immediately in this game. He
seems to be a step ahead with his vision/decision making
which gives him a good passing game. "
International Scouting Services 2005 NHL Draft Guide
"Kid can flat out fly with long, powerful stride
and smooth acceleration. Strong and balanced on skates.
Terrifically skilled defenseman with dynamic offensive
tools... Projection: Top 3 defenseman. Style compares
to: Brent Sopel."
