Scouting Report

Strengths: 

Is an efficient, reliable defender who limits his mistakes. Can put up points and also log loads of ice time in all game situations.

Weaknesses: 

Must better handle the physical style of the NHL game. Needs more bulk for his 6-2 frame, and needs to start avoiding the injury bug.

Projection: 

Top four defenseman
