Tall defender with a muscular frame, strong skating burst, and cannon of a shot. Is capable of being the the guy who carries on the attack zone entires, and a PP QB. A good skater who can give a little space on attackers and then, close it down. If opponents try to burst through, he moves laterally shadowing them. Has a powerful shooting presence from the point displaying a strong hard shot. Is very good with his stick to get pucks to teammates. He has strong wrists and doesn’t need momentum to deliver the puck. Extremely poised in every zone and uses his reach and stick to take away and advance pucks on the attack. Nimble, smart and although not viewed as a quick-attacking offenseman, it is difficult to dismiss how well he plays when the puck is near him. Looks like a first rounder.
