Big fluid defender who plays his end well and has a long reach and a tendency to play with an edge. Has excellent offensive instincts but his aggressiveness and positionally strong play are his calling card at this juncture. The team drafting this young man will be in a similar situation that Chicago was in when they drafted big Alex Vlasic off the USA program where he had a more defensive role, let him proceed to college and return a well rounded NHL player.
