Scouting Report
Looked bigger than he was in the crease. Could make acrobatic saves and was also extremely flexible, mainly due to strong hips. Displayed the confidence to succeed, but also had good team-first qualities. Occasional lapses in concentration often led to bad goals at inopportune times. Had consistency issues that prevented him from joining the ranks of the league's elite goalkeepers.
Long Range Potential: Solid goaltender.
