Scouting Report
Was extremely poised and had the ideal demeanor for a goaltender. Played a positionally-sound butterfly style with aplomb. Covered a lot of net with his frame and style. Was durable and great in clutch situations. Was a bit vulnerable whenever his positioning left him. Didn't handle the puck very well at all and also wasn't good at improvising much. His glove hand wasn't the best. Struggled more with reduced equipment.
Long Range Potential: Excellent, clutch positional goaltender.
