SCOUTING REPORT
Big quick defenseman who needs time at Cornell University to fix key flaws in his game and become of sum of many strong parts. At this juncture, he is best when he sticks to playing a strong physical game in his own end. He tries to become a puck carrier and mover and at this point lacks the vision to decide properly when to move it on, or doesn't get it to his options. College will give him an opportunity to improve his on-ice decisions.
