The 19-year-old defenceman was drafted in the first round 22nd overall by the Flyers in 2023. According to elite prospects com, he is typically a shutdown defenseman who has excellent hockey IQ and is a strong physical presence in his own end.
But it's clear that this season has been remarkable as he's only played 39 games and has scored 17 goals with 35 assists for 52 points.
