Scouting Report
The second-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft was widely heralded coming out of junior hockey, where he was a star, and his goaltending helped Canada win the 2015 WJC. However, he has trekked through the minors without finding that same kind of success, though his game improved as he reached his mid-20s. Has a projectable frame but needs to work on his movement in the crease and become stronger for better stamina.
Long Range Potential: Solid depth goaltender.
