Top pairing 'D' for the Hawks
Averaging over 25:00 TOI to start the season. Deployed in all situations.
Three zone detail and puck management can range at times but he isn't afforded the luxury of any 'soft' match-ups. Plays against top line opponents on a nightly basis.
Competes. Not punishing, but certainly involved.
Uses his long reach to take away lanes / time / space.
Big body. When he rotates into shooting lanes it's difficult for opponents to direct plays on net around his frame.
A 2-way/transitional 'D' who shoots the puck with authority / can beat goalies from distance.
