Contract
-

He’s not shy to throw hit or crush players into the end-boards, and he establishes body positioning by getting low and driving his back through the opponent’s hands in just about every situation. Where most players just keep their stick in the lane, he anticipates, angles, and mirrors the footwork of the puck carrier to keep shots to the outside and get the odd steal. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
