Big bodied stay at home defenseman who competes his balls off in the hard areas for 50-50 pucks and comes out successful more than not. Has a long stick/reach an is difficult to beat one on one. A sound defender with who displays good positioning, keeps the crease clear and moves pucks out of the zone effectively. Has impressive size and mobility that are crucial parts of his defensive game. Makes smart decisions without the puck. Doesn’t really risk jumping into the offensive rushes, but will find quite ice to make effective plays in the offensive zone and on the rush. Projects as a third pairing type who can gap up and plays with bite.
