Nowadays, when a defenseman can skate as incredibly well as he can, NHL teams usually find a way to get him into the lineup. Not only is he incredibly mobile but he also plays with bravado and is constantly in opponents' way. He likes the physical aspect of the game of hockey, despite his lack of optimum size and strength. He also displays a high ceiling in terms of puck movement and offensive production, though he will need to prove himself against higher competition as he climbs the developmental ladder. He must also add bulk and become a lot stronger to maximize his impact with the way he plays. | |
