Scouting Report

Assets:	Has a tremendous combination of size and strength from the back end. Can lay on punishing hits and owns a hard shot from the point. Will drop the gloves.
Flaws:	Lacks good skating ability. Doesn't have great puck-handling skils, which prevents him from raising his game to another level. Is somewhat injury-prone.
Career Potential:	Physical depth defenseman.
