An offensive rearguard who moves the puck well but also shows an understanding of when to play it safe defensively. Shows strong intelligence on the ice and good vision as well. Skates very well with nice all-encompassing mobility and a health amount of speed. Transitions look smooth and does so extremely fast. Has soft hands and can carry the puck but also shows the ability to make accurate outlet and touch passes. Needs to concentrate on improving his defensive positioning. Added strength will also improve the velocity on his already accurate point shot. Strength will need to be added while at the University of Minnesota. May never play with any amount of physicality.
