Scouting Report
Had a fairly solid frame (6-1). Was both talented and athletic in the crease area. Was also a smart goalkeeper who thought the game at a high level. Unfortunately, a chronic hip problem ended his National Hockey League dreams even before they began. Also lacked consistency in a big way.
Long Range Potential: Talented, inconsistent goaltender (if healthy).
