Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Veteran 2-way 'D' who is deployed at ES and PK
Keeps his game relatively simple.
Outlets effectively. Pinches down occasionally to extend plays in the offensive zone.
Closes on opponents in his zone. Finishes his checks. Blocks shots on the PK.
Leans third pairing but can slide in to second pairing if required.
Like any NHL defenceman, he's at his best when he plays with poise and doesn't run out of his way to finish a check or chase gaps.
