Whipple generates significant power on the backpedal and maintains his speed through pivots, making him a strong rush defender. He forces attacks wide, then explodes across and hammers the opponent into the boards. Aggressive net-front defence and flashes of deceptive, fast retrievals give him lots of defensive versatility. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
