Gives his all when he’s out there and plays an aggressive style. Useful on the PK and can play both centre and wing.

Defensively responsible and a competent penalty killer. Is willing to stand up for his teammates and can play with a physical edge.
Technically sound and uses his size effectively. Has very good reflexes and great anticipation. Calm under pressure…most of the time at least.
Smooth skating defender with good leadership qualities. Showed he can adapt to various roles and doesn’t tire with heavy minutes.
Despite his diminutive size, will crash the net, and goes to the high traffic areas. Quickly became a leader in the room as well and showed he can produce in pressure situations.
A very reliable two-way forward who showed that with quality wingers, he can put up some strong numbers as well. A go-to guy in all situations.
A pure playmaker, he has excellent vision with very good outside speed. He has a reputation as a go-to guy because of his creativity, leadership and feistiness.
A smart player with great instincts who always seems to be in the right position. Is above average on the draw for a winger and has proven to be clutch in key situations.
Makes a great first pass and transitions to offense smoothly. Has a booming shot and strong playmaking abilities making him prime for the powerplay.
Hulking size and strength. Will stick up for his teammates and drop the gloves when necessary. Can lay out anyone with a punishing body check.
