Here is what ISS said at the time...."A smooth skating, offensive defenceman who shows strong mobility and excellent vision".

Or Future Considerations..."using impressive top-end speed"

Or Redline...."Smallish defender is highly mobile"

As for his offense...

"Not since Brian Leetch scored 47 points in 37 games back in 1986-87 has an 18-year-old defender had this sort of offensive impact in college."

And his 59 points for the US National U18 team is a record by a blue liner.

It absolutely 100% sucks that we couldn't keep this guy.
