He fly’s when he skates full speed…has good lateral mobility and uses it to defend by keeping his opposition to the outside…has so much offensive potential because of his smarts and creative puck skills…makes a solid pass…transitions the puck very  quickly by moving it up to his forwards…has nice hands…shows solid defensive positioning. Lack of strength for the reed thin defender is very evident…looses most the battles down low where strength is involved…lack of exposure could hurt his draft stock…has much polishing of his defensive game.
