Finished his second full season in the Q, and this big man has improved his stock. His positive play against his CHL draft peers in the Prospect game helped too. Displays good puck control and can even one-hand it to get some room to move out in transition. Protects the biscuit very well. Does so many little things well already. Gets open as an outlet for his forwards, dominates the wall play. His aggressive demeanor on the boards and in front of his net, wins pucks and makes impressions. He has a good feel for where and when to pinch in the offense zone. He opens up his stance to let it rip from the blue line too. Very strong physical guy who will match up well as his career continues, because he knocks players off their feet.
