Two way defender who plays a very effective game with four direction skating ability, agility and a smooth stride and quickness. Not by any means dynamic, just does everything well and effects game outcomes in a positive fashion. At this point, he is only a six footer who shows a good decision making in all three zones, with jump to go retrieve pucks and make sound breakouts. Reads opposing entries and kills plays. Has good gap control, is smart with or without the biscuit on his lumber. At this juncture is not an aggressive attacker or generator, but has upside.
