Scouting Report
The undrafted goaltender earned his chance to play in the NHL after stops in the WHL, ECHL and American Hockey League, which speaks well of his persistence. He is not large by today's NHL standards, so he needs to add some strength to thrive at the top level. Plays the puck adequately, which helps his defensemen.
Long Range Potential: Depth goaltender with a little upside.
