Scouting Report
A premier goaltender in the 2010s, he is no longer among the NHL's best. He is still capable of big performances, but that tends to be the exception rather than the rule now that he is in his 30s. Still handles the puck well and can make life easier for his defensemen. Does not have great lateral movement and can be beaten by teams that move the puck well laterally. Injuries are an issue.
Long Range Potential: Quality veteran goaltender (when healthy).
