• Doesn't get the attention, or credit, he deserves compared to some other names on the Panthers 'D'.
• Used in all situations. Excellent skater. Sound defender. Head on a swivel / spatial awareness / reads and reacts very well in the defensive zone.
• Has the legs to lead the rush on his own or join as an extra layer
• Sneaky shot from distance. Can beat NHL goalies clean. Sets up on the weak side on the second PP unit. Solid one timer.
• Reliable in a variety of roles. Matches up against top six forwards. Some bump to his game. Blocks shots. Does a lot of 'little things' very well. Could be a top pairing on some teams.
• Averages over 23:00 TOI.
