He maintains a detailed mental map of the ice that allows quick decisions and a heightened read on incoming pressure. Defensively, he maintains an above-the-puck posture and suffocates opposition puck-carriers. He's so dialed in off the puck, capable of making the right reads and knowing when he can switch from his man and give his teammate support. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
