The kind of player who can impact the game offensively - especially on the PP - but also look sleepy at even strength and lack detail.
When he's on his game he identifies as a 'Transitional D' and PP QB. Equal parts distributor / shooter. Shoots the puck a ton. Can beat NHL goalies, clean, from range. Accuracy ranges.
Defensive detail comes down to how engaged he is mentally and how fast he is playing the game. There are times he doesn't provide enough jump to space / to kill plays or engage his check defensively.
Room for more effort and detail - on and off the puck. His offensive element isn't masking his deficiencies to start the year.
