Committed to Denver University
A big smooth skating toolsy defenseman whose natural power and feet in his carries, finds targets and supports the rush. He plays his own end against rushing attackers, where his skating is utilized. It will be such an advantage that he will be continuing his growth in the Denver College program, became he hasn’t carved out a role at his position. He hasn’t shown an aggressive side, and he hasn’t shown a huge playmaking aspect, despite the balance and playing speed to make moves, but his decisions come slower, alkthough his edges generate plenty of power to be a stand out activator.It is difficult to say he is on track as a future NHL defender who is an attacker or solid defender when both aspects are still out of his reach at this juncture of development. Certainly he will be in a great spot to develop into a possible NHL calibre player.
