Talent Analysis
As an all around defenseman with good puck moving skills, Aronson makes for an interesting project. He doesn't have ideal size, and has yet to show any real consistency, but he has the skills to be a top four defenseman. An overall solid defenseman that contributes on both ends of the ice, in addition to the powerplay and penalty kill.
Future
Will stay with the Portland Winterhawks in 2011-2012.
