Both his feet and mind are constantly racing to find ways to cut time and space from the opposition. He offsets his size disadvantage with superior agility and quickness, by using a longer stick, by leveraging his lower centre of gravity in board battles, and by closing his gap on opponents as quickly as possible all over the ice. He defends the way other smaller defencemen in the NHL do. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
