Scouting Report
A huge goalkeeper who can cover up a lot of the net with his body, he is also as cool as a cucumber under pressure (and displays the ideal mentality for the goaltending position). Needs to prove he can handle a heavy workload at the highest level to maximize output in the National Hockey League. Injuries are also an issue with him, as his development was stalled earlier in his career; he is now playing catch-up.
Long Range Potential: Huge depth goaltender.
