Scouting Report
Could perform well in big-game situations when called upon. Possessed a starter's mentality but he accepted his role as a backup, eventually. Lacked a bit of focus in terms of his positioning, and relied too heavily on reactions and recuperation. Could let in soft goals from time to time. Was not the most consistent 'tender, which is why he was better suited to backup duties in the NHL.
Long Range Potential: Solid goaltender.
