A solid dependable two-way defender who skates well enough and has good overall mobility…plays solid defensively with good gap control and maintains good defensive positioning…willing and able to play physical and throw the odd big hit…has decent passing skills and a good wrister. His game is some what vanilla for a lot of scouts…is on the average to below side in terms of speed…his vision and hockey sense has been questioned because he leaves viable options open to skate the puck into a dead-end situation…often leaves you wanting more.
