Scouting Report
Was extremely tough to get a read on from a shooter's perspective because he was unpredictable. Played a very active, unorthodox style. Could get red-hot for long stretches and had a lightning-fast catching hand. Often made highlight-reel stops. Struggled at times with his lateral mobility. When he was cold, he also lost his focus--that's a double-whammy. Also didn't always show great consistency in those areas. Late in his career, he developed a blood-clot issue that ended it abruptly.
Long Range Potential: Quality, unorthodox goaltender.
