Talent Analysis
A slick-skating defenseman with tons up offensive upside. Can get to top speed rather quickly and stickhandle with efficiency. Has a solid first pass when he’s not leading the rush. Has a quick and accurate release from the backend. Likes to shoot and prefers to slide into the high slot and pull the trigger. He activates off the point a lot, especially on the powerplay. Gets the puck on and off his stick quickly. Defensive end coverage is good, but will obviously have to tighten is up as he progresses. Will need to improve decision-making in the offensive attack. Such as, when it’s appropriate to join in on the rush on the breakout and/or release from the point. Hands down a team player with good work ethic and drive. Willing to sacrifice for the sake of the team.
Future
Playing for the OHL Kitchener Rangers in 2009-10.
