Max gained momentum coming out of the WJC
He was used in a primary role for team Slovakia and showed he was capable of matching up versus top opponents and being deployed on the penalty kill
His game at Sioux Falls hasn't been as noticeable - but - he has good size - understated physical push back - agile - and generally makes smart puck plays
Going to college will assist with his development long term - He's a 2-way D on projection
