Talent Analysis

Bowman is considered to be a defensive defenseman who is capable of moving the puck efficiently.  He sees the ice well and may have some as yet undiscovered offensive talent, but will never be considered an offensive defenseman.  Bowman needs to work on his skating and works hard at doing so.
