Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is extremely big for the goaltending position and covers a lot of net when in the crease. Has put up great numbers at every level.
Flaws
  • Can wear down if overworked, so he isn't ideally suited to being a 65-game goalie at the National Hockey League level.
Career Potential
  • Solid starting goaltender with upside.
