Scouting Report
The massive defenseman was drafted out of junior A hockey in 2021, and he stayed there before heading to college hockey. He is obviously quite imposing physically, has a booming shot and covers a lot of space in the defensive zone. His skating can get sloppy at times, and he has to grow into his body, but there is potential here.
Long Range Potential: Mammoth project defenseman with upside.
