Big poised and strong defender who has good mobilty and puck handling skills. Very raw but taking leaps forward in his development. Has a long reach, soft hands and a smooth stride that allows him to go end to end. A work in progress, who started out as a big defender that owuld never be mistaken as a new age rusher, but who has nicely grown more confident and mobile in his game. He is smooth with puck, makes good outlets, and carrying swiftly through the neutral zone and now has the abilty to go end to end. Has really good long term potential and he gets stronger and bigger and shows more poise in the densive zone.
