Scouting Report
Assets: Displays a combination of physical and stay-at-home presence. Is as tough as nails. Has a history of point production at lower levels. Can play the wing position, too, albeit as a role player.
Flaws: Can get into trouble when caught out of position by speedy forwards, since he lacks quickness. Will take a few bad penalties now and then. Lacks polish as a winger, so he can't play a lot there.
Career Potential: Veteran physical defenseman and role player.
