Scouting Report
Has a projectable frame and a fair amount of puck-stopping ability. Profiles more as a backup goalkeeper in the National Hockey League than as a starter, but he must become a more consistent performer in order to maximize his appearances at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Depth goaltender.
