Was rather mobile from the back end. Ran the power play smoothly and with creativity. Could put up excellent point totals and was as savvy as they come in the defensive zone. Was not big or strong, so he could struggle to handle NHL power forwards in front of the net from time to time. Tried to do too much with the puck from time to time. | |
Long Range Potential: | Savvy, excellent offensive defenseman. |
