Strengths: He covers the net well and doesn’t leave too many holes open. He is capable of stealing games when he’s on while he is also comfortable with playing starters minutes if necessary.
Strengths: Despite being just 5’10, he plays a physical style while he’s more than willing to block shots. Overall, he has good defensive instincts and is a decent stay-at-home blueliner.
