Scouting Report
A career journeyman goalkeeper, he continues to push for time and occasionally gets a chance to play in the NHL. Has struggled to deal with the aftereffects of a serious concussion that forced him to retool his game completely. Has never been terribly fluid in his movements but uses his size well to challenge shooters. His game is best when he is not taking too many risks.
Long Range Potential: Organizational depth goaltender.
