Big just out of high school enforcer who can fill a bottom end defense pair. Still not strong enough and far from refined on his skates. He is a big strong and athletic rearguard with good mobility. Displays a hard heavy point shot. Hits hard. Plays evil, wicked, mean and nasty. Still very raw and a developmental type selection, but seems like there is upside. Was named to the USA Developmental team playing in the Ivan Hlinka Tournament. In a draft were there are few stereotypical hard nosed physical players, I suspect he goes as early as the third round. Committed to the University of Minnesota-Duluth
