Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is extremely poised and has the ideal demeanor for a goaltender. Plays a positionally-sound butterfly style. Covers a lot of net with his frame and style.
Flaws
  • Tends to be vulnerable whenever his positioning leaves him. Doesn't handle the puck well and doesn't improvise either. His glove hand isn't great.
Career Potential
  • Veteran, battle-tested goaltender.
