Scouting Report
Is very strong in his legs, with a solid lower base, so he is able to push off laterally pretty well. His positioning is also quite good. Was a stellar junior goaltender with dominant qualities. Needs to make adjustments to better thrive in the pro ranks. Lacks optimum height.
Long Range Potential: Solid goaltender with some upside.
