Neutral Zone Scouting Report

"Smaller, quick skating, mobile defenseman. He has excellent quickness and speed which he uses to jump into the play offensively and quickly retreat to his defensive position. He has excellent footwork which he uses for transitions to quickly change to a defensive position. He is quick with the puck. He made effective transition passes often using the middle man and hitting his man in-stride. He made a smart play off the opening face-off in game 1 recognizing that his forward had a step on the defenseman so he immediately threw the puck deep into the R corner leading to a chance at the net."
