SCOUTING REPORT
Giant defender who plays to his strengths as more of a stay at home with some snarl. Is well balanced and skates well for being such a huge specimen. Poised and patient in the defensive zone, makes good passes on exits, and uses his reach and stick along with his body to break up attacking looks. He is an excellent two way skater for a man his size, but he is content at not attempting to join most rushes. He has upside, and is yet another long term developmental prospect.
