Height: 6-5 Weight: 220

Assets Moves very well for a 6-5, 220-pound defender and owns both offensive and all-around potential. Is capable of logging big minutes and playing on either side of the ice. Flaws Doesn't use his huge frame enough to his advantage, which limits his effectiveness. Is somewhat raw in the offensive zone. Needs to display more consistency in all facets of the game. Career Potential Big-minute defenseman.
