Position scouted: Left Defense
Age when scouted: 31
Projection: Second Pair
Trending: Flat
Logs over 20:00 per night in a variety of roles. Compliments a partner who is more willing to take risks offensively. Capable to lead the rush or join as an extra layer but he picks his spots
At best he is a 'bumper' defensively. Not a physical defender.
Good stick. Mostly sound outlets. He can launch the attack effectively.
He is what he is. A reliable NHL defender who skates and manages the game within his skill set and comfort level. He's not elite in any one category.
