Slovakian defender with good mobility, speed, and competitiveness. Smart and effective who has also played in Finland. Plays smart and well positioned in his end. Always on the right side of the puck. Battles hard for loose pucks. Make simple plays to clear. When in attack mode he either carried it in over the blue line or made those short effective passes to teammates who did. Vocal leader and shows some physicality, initiating contact on puck carriers. Keeps his head on a swivel on his breakouts, quickly moves pucks. Then he supports the attacking play and can jump right in. Aggressive youngster who looks like he has upside.
