The big, mobile defenseman can move the puck efficiently and log a lot of minutes. Has the size to play an effective shutdown game and enough offensive skill to contribute occasionally at the other end of the ice. Does not play with the physicality his size would indicate, but does not get pushed around, either. Is a great complement to an offensive defense partner. | |
Long Range Potential: | Minute-munching, defense-oriented defenseman. |
