AVG TOI hovered around (19:00) per night in 21/22. Deployed at ES, 4/4, OT and on the PP He can be used on the first power play unit but is better suited for PP#2 (if required)
A 2-way D who will join the rush on occasion. He sees the ice pretty well and will take advantage of time and space. Although he is aware in his zone he does have some holes in his game defensively. He reads the play but at times he is slow to react and get on the right side of his man and the puck. Projects to be #5 more than a #4 on his next deal.
