Luca Sbisa is a mobile two-way defenceman that can seem a bit gaudy at times. Plays at his best when he simplifies his game, seeing the ice well and finding the open space to give himself decision-making options. Possesses a sharp, accurate shot and needs to use it more. Not a great passer but has the ability to create time and space for teammates who have better options with the puck. Skates very well up-ice but can have some trouble pivoting on the backcheck. Very physical when he wants to be and likes to take key opposition individuals out of the play. Very aggressive. [EP]
