Birthplace: Ottawa, ONT | Acquired: Drafted 7th Round, 206th overall in 2013
Assets: Has decent offensive ability and moves the puck with aplomb (at lower levels). Owns a solid base, so he is adept at maintaining puck possession and battling down low.
Flaws: Needs to continue to work on his defensive skills when he does not have the puck, especially in terms of defensive-zone coverage. Lacks ideal height for the NHL.
Career Potential: Quality, complementary defenseman.
