Pronman's scouting report on Urbom:

6. Alexander Urbom, Defense
2011-12 Ranking: 3rd
Date of birth: 12/20/1990
Age: 22
Height: 6'5''
Weight: 215
Shoots: Left
Statistics: 68 GP, 0 G, 8 P (Albany, AHL)
Acquired: Third round, 73rd overall in 2009 by New Jersey
Year in Review: Urbom was a very good defensive player in his third pro season, as he appeared to be on the verge of an NHL spot. However, his offensive game has failed to progress.
The Good: Urbom is a big, strong defenseman who projects to be a high-end or better physical player at the top level. His natural physical gifts are apparent, and he even elevated that part of his game this season. He is a mobile four-way skater who does not have fantastic speed but he keeps the play in front of him effectively. Urbom makes good defensive reads, and he does not hurt his team. He also works hard and competes well on the ice.
The Bad: At this point, Urbom looks like a replacement-level offensive player. At the NHL level, he will be a basic first-pass type of player and not a whole lot more.
Projection: He could be a fringe second pairing/good third pairing defenseman.
