Massive left shot 'D' who played up and down in the Leksand club system in 2021-2022
Has a presence. When he closes on opponents to take away space, provided he arrives on time, he is difficult to escape. Solid IQ. He defends from the middle of he ice out and gets in the way on the PK / blocks shots / uses long reach to keep opponents to the perimeter. Produced offensively at the J20 level and showed he can make plays. Not just a 'DD'. A work in progress but brings a ton of upside overall.
