A big part of his team's success at the WHL level (Seattle)
Used in all situations. Reliable. Trustworthy. High end hockey IQ.
Leans distributor more than shooter on the PP - but has a better than average shot from distance that he could actually utilize more often. Can be deceptive on offensive blue line.
Skating isn't pretty to watch at times - but he arrives on time in all three zone. An areas of con concern is his first three strides - out of the blocks - skating backwards - he has room to improve his balance and quickness in the category. NHL middle pairing 'D' at worst - All situations.
