This light, six foot defenseman has excellent offensive zone awareness and is a high end passer in the attack zone. May need to add some leg strength and muscle to get out of trouble in his own end. Quick enough on the fly to sneak in as the odd man. Has a nice shot that will get better as he gets stronger. Will find a teammate with the puck, then make sure he gets open as an option for the return pass. Needs to better position himself in his end and keep improving his game and conditioning.
