He boasts playmaking ability, especially off the boards, has a decent motor with solid defensive fundamentals, and is sturdier than a refrigerator. Opposition defenders step up on him, then crumble to the ice. He's a brick wall. And a brick wall who can set-up teammates with some pace and deception have value. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
