Has great size (6-4, 225 pounds), plenty of physicality to his game and shutdown ability. Excels on the penalty kill and is at his best when he keeps the game simple. Does not have high-end puck skills (or offensive acumen). Also, he needs more work in defending against really speedy forwards at the NHL level. Concussion issues have hurt his progression. | |
Long Range Potential: | Physical defenseman, when healthy. |
