Scouting Report
Made the most of his limited size and never quit on a play. Could be used as a No. 1 netminder in the NHL for stretches. Had perseverance, which suited him well in battling shooters on a regular basis. Lacked the long-range consistency to be a quality starting goaltender at the National Hockey League level. At times, he would mishandle the puck or over-play his position into a goal against.
Long Range Potential: Decent backup goaltender.
