Scouting Report
Still trying to prove he can be a regular at the NHL level. That could come as he fills out his 6’3” frame and heads toward his prime. He has the upside and junior pedigree to be a starter because of his size and athleticism. The QMJHL alum has a good catching glove and plays with poise, but he has yet to demonstrate he is ready for a full-time NHL role.
Long Range Potential: Unproven, athletic goaltender with a little upside.
