Somewhat undersize - '2-way D' who brings high end compete and sound game management.
Played 65 games in (22-23). Averaged 18:39 TOI. Deployed at ES and PK. He will be better for the experience.
Crafty / smart / extends plays in the offensive zone / active / sees the ice
Defensively he is the kind of defender who relies on jumping on pucks ahead of opponents - he isn't physical - has an active stick / doesn't quit on trying to win pucks back / rotates into shooting lanes to block shots - credited with 53 hits and 98 shot blocks in the 65GP

Trending up.
A reliable 2-way 'D' who moves well and has sound hockey 'IQ'
On the PK he gets in the shooting lanes and has an active stick. Reads the play very well. Rarely caught out of position.
Offensively he picks his spots to pinch down and extend plays. Outlets are stick to stick. Occasionally he will join the rush. Has shown, in the past, he can play big minutes. A leader

A leader. Captain at Northeastern. Used in all situations at the college level. Sound Hockey IQ
AVG TOI in his final 10 segment was north of (27:00) !
2-way D. Makes a good first pass. Will join the rush / add layer offensively / occasionally.
On the PK his read / react game is sound. Gets into shooting lanes. Active stick.
Good skater. Not exceptionally fast. It will take some time for him to adjust his pace to the pro game. Trending up overall. Has a chance to be an NHL regular. Don't expect a ton offensively

Trending: Up
Captain of his team at the NCAA level
Used in all situations
On the PP he distributes and shows ability to walk the line / provide deception
Do not see him as a PK contributor at the pro level
A secondary option as a transitional defender / point producer / is possible
Aggressive in the offensive zone pinching down and keeping plays alive
More than a bumper ... he closes the gap and finishes his checks
