SCOUTING REPORT

Big frames large defender with soft hands, crisp edge work and a cannon of a shot. In his high school league with Chasta HS, he display solo dashes leading on net, and could also take pucks and blast them through three zones leading to a teammates breakaway. He defended well against the rush and had a neat poke check that disrupted things. There is lots to like long term, but you easily saw how he was farther behind his draft class, when he played In the American Top Prospects game. He looked as though plays was moving much too fast for him.  Seemed as though he was overmatched by the speed and tempo of the game. His ability to pivot was apparent as was his inability to know when to take the man or the puck. Needs to develop a mire physical side and keep improving and gaining muscle.
