Scouting Report
Had a great combination of size, quickness and command of the butterfly style. Could steal games for his team. When he was on his game, he was confident (even cocky, in a good way), square to the shooter and looked big in the net. When off his game, he had a tendency to flop around a lot, including a bad habit of going down on his belly. Could lose his concentration and focus at times. Was not a very good puckhandler. Could be beaten high on his glove hand. His personality off the ice was as viivid as his performance on it.
Long Range Potential: Excellent, workhorse goaltender.
