Smooth fluid skating Q defenseman who has a smart three zone game. An excellent puck carrier who also the Oceanic power play QB. He slides as he walks the blue line creating shooting and passing lanes. Has rum to fill in his frame. Doesn’t stand out with any flashy dominant traits, just plays most phases at an above average level. Displays solid positioning and gap control and uses an active stick to break up attack plays. Forces attacker to the corners with strong stick work and gap control. —Bill Placzek—
