Big, tall Quebec League defenseman who was traded mid-season from Shawinigan Cataractes to Rimouski and it gave him a big opportunity to play more. minutes and more situations with a young Oceanic backline. His move and addition time displayed his combination of puck skill, size, and mobility.

Some reads escape him, but he plays physical and constantly looks to deny plays and separate attackers from the puck along the walls. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
