Scouting Report

Strengths: A very physical blueliner who skates well for his size.  His shot is
also an impressive weapon.

Weaknesses: Discipline has long been a concern with him; he often takes himself out of the play to make the big hit. Despite his offensive tools, he has yet to have a big impact in that element.

Projected Role: Top four defenceman
