Skating has become more of a concern in recent years. A move to the wing is possible. Tracking up and down the full 20ft is a heavy lift when playing center.
Elite hockey IQ. Fantastic stick. One of the best players in the game tipping pucks and finding second chances around opponents crease - especially on the PP.
Leans on people / battles to extend plays along the wall. Averaged 17:39 TOI in (22/23) - all at ES and PP. Credited with 112 hits and 36 shot blocks. One of the top face-off men in the NHL - won 58% of his draws. Low maintenance pro. Two years left on massive contract ($11M AAV
