Scouting Report
Strengths: Good mobile puck mover, but also has a
strong shot. Runs the top powerplay exceptionally well. Positionally perfect
in the defensive zones and very good with his stick which more then make up
for his lack of physicality.
|
Weaknesses: A stronger voice in the dressing room
would be preferable. Also tends to the pass over the shot on the powerplay,
despite having one of the better shots on the team.
|
Projected Role: Offensive defenseman, 1st pairing
