A '2-way' depth defenceman who leans 7D more than full time bottom pairing.
Good size. Adequate skater. Decent length / reach taking away time and space in his zone.
At times he chooses to join the rush, late, as an extra layer. Has also shown more willingness to exit his zone with the puck on his stick and skate it up ice when open space is presented.
Overall there's not a ton of 'flash' to his game.
Not shy about directing pucks on net. Willing to body up and block shots.
Generally speaking, he keeps the game pretty simple / doesn't take a ton of risk / attempts to look after his zone first.
