Scouting Report
Strengths:
Big, strong young man who is a hitter. Good awareness and good positionally. Reads the play well. Big, hard shot. Shot up developmentally, as he had zero major junior experience before this season.
Weaknesses:
Skating has improved, but he's still on the slow side with poor footwork. Outlet passing needs work, as well.
Projection:
Depth physical defenseman

"Big, raw blue-liner has come looong way since training camp. Skating is still not a strength, but has improved a TON. Very strong upper body and plays physically - regularly knocks even strong forwards off their feet. Good defensive zone awareness and sound positioning. Reads and anticipates puck movement well. Shows surprisingly strong patience with the puck and a willingness to handle it and make plays. Hard shot from the point and good decisions in distribution. Makes good D-to-D passes, but show inconsistent accuracy on his outlets. Plays a steady, unspectacular game, but may not have the speed or footwork to play at a higher level.
Projection: Heavy-footed organizational depth guy.
Style compares to: Mark Fraser" (Red Line Report)
