He isn't a defensive specialist, but uses his speed effectively. And on Backlund's line, would provide a solid two-way game. And add much needed speed to the line.

He can be a little dirty. The thing you notice is he makes plays quickly - not just his speed but moving it quick, so he reads/anticipates very well.
He’s sturdy and can protect the puck but he won’t wear the opponent down, I don’t think, in a war of attrition
