Blue-chip prospect, smooth skating, sure-handed offensive
defenseman who remains very cool under pressure. His ability to settle
the play down, make consistent outlet passes and find the open options
are his strengths. Plays both PP and PK and possesses a hard, accurate
shot from the point. Controls the play. When needed, he can jump into
the play with his offensive instincts. He consistently makes wise
decisions in gaining zone or shooting in. On the power play he is very
dangerous, leads the rush, gains zone, has great lateral movement with
or without puck. Is very confident in his ability to lead the attack
from the back end. Displays plenty of offensive potential. Is able to
combine a physical defensive game with discipline.
