His man child is a huge lanky kid who has good skating straight line abilty to play defense. His long reach and gets touches on the biscuit becasue of it. He’s fine coming out of his end transporting in transition or making good defenseive zone passes. In the 2024 Hlinka, he matched against Ivar Stenberg where he effectively used his twig to cut off the pass and forcing Stenberg to shoot from out far and wide instead. He has no offesnive game at this point but this longer raw giant right defenseman isn’t a bad thing in a NHL teams prospect farm, even if they developmentally are a few years away from rounding out is unrefined play, two way game and his physcial growth.
