Birthplace: Long Beach, NY | Acquired: Drafted first round (14th overall) by Boston in 2016
Assets: Plays a sound game at both ends of the ice and has plenty of lower-leg strength (good enough to win battles against bigger NHL forwards at the highest level). Thinks the game well.
Flaws: Does he have the ability to quarterback an NHL power play? Also, can he continue to play a physical brand of hockey without optimum size for the highest level? The jury is still out.
Career Potential: Talented, two-way defenseman with upside.
