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.

Nov. 24, 2023 (Updated Nov. 27, 2023)
Contract: $9,000,000 over 3 years (Cap hit: $3,000,000)
Position scouted: Right Defense
Age when scouted: 32
Projection: Second Pair
Trending: Under NHL Contract
Mostly 'stay at home' defenceman who rolls over the boards at ES and the PK.
Matches up against top three lines.
Not physical. Blocks shots. Average plus skater. Out of the blocks he takes a bit of time to get up to speed. Once up to speed he is the kind of player that will look to distribute / or gain the red line and dump the puck deep.
Keeps things simple.
Reliable. No frills. Right shot. Good size. Active stick on the PK. If he brings offense its a bonus.
