His neutral zone defence is as solid as ever both in terms of stick and footwork. The trademarks of his game are solid posture, no reaching, and a gap almost always closed before the defensive blue line. He can feed the offence through short and long passes or by activating north or east-west off the rush, giving an extra passing option to teammates. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
