This lightweight undersized right shooting defender has made a huge qualitative jump in the rankings due to his quick burst, and his aggressive highly skilled puck moving ability. Reads the ice well. and puts the biscuit on the take in full stride, forcing defenders in the attack zone to uncertainty. Showing improvement as a defender, but takes risky chances when in possession and gets overpowered by bigger attackers. Given the extra space on the power play he excels withbhis distribution, his jump downs, =tape to tape seam passes and the use of his accuate shot a quick release. There seems thru upside here.
