report from EP draft guide

Defensively, he stood players up at the blue line and made good plays with his stick to take away space. On the breakout, he relies on his partner to make the outlet pass. His default is to draw the forecheckers to him, move it to his partner, and allow his partner to make the decision. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
