Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a massive, rangy frame and uses it to cover a lot of net. Is very agile at 6-5 and a take-charge puck-handler. Flashes excellent fluidity and awareness.
Flaws
  • Sometimes lets himself get out of position trying to handle pucks. Occasionally drops to the ice too quickly and gets out of his stance, leaving him vulnerable.
Career Potential
  • Potential starting goaltender.
