Talent Analysis
Plays a responsible defensive game, choosing wisely when to join the offensive rush. Everson transitions well, using his positioning and speed to force opponents to the outside. Everson has demonstrated the keen ability of taking away time and space from the opposition. Has the drive to be a workhorse defenseman and could develop into productive scorer at the next level. Everson continues to improve his coverage in front of the net, but still needs some fine-tuning.
The book on Everson is that he's got some potential as a two-way defenseman, although his size is nothing to write home about (6-0, 184). Everson is a very good skater with excellent change of direction and has a nice touch on the puck with the ability to make the accurate breakout pass and get the puck up the ice quickly. He's got a heavy shot despite the lack of big-time size and upper body power. Like most players on the blue line who possess average size, he's lacking in functional strength and hasn't had to use it much at this level.
