First year NHL defender who has junior eligibility remaining.
Made the Hawks out of training camp. Earned his spot on the roster.
Good size. Long reach. Somewhat unusual stride but it doesn't hold him back from getting from A to B at the NHL level.
Mostly area defender. Rotates well into shooting lanes. Early in the season he is averaging 19:33 TOI and being deployed at ES and PP.
His elite element is his offensive upside. Sees the ice. Can QB the PP. Leans distributor more than shooter but he's capable of directing plays on goal from distance.
On the rise. Just beginning his career.
