Left shooting Finn defenseman who has no flashy offensive game but is an all-around solid dependable two way performer whose defensive maturity and awareness is of a shut down level. Calm and capable to making keen offensive plays, his strength is in his being able to play at a high level by making simple low-risk plays and leading his team through example. Look for teams looking for a candidate in the Niklas Hjalmarsson vain will be thinking about his name in the 4th and 5th rounds.
