Scouting Report
Has great size and moves well within the crease. Butterfly goalie who covers a large part of the net due to his size. Good athlete with excellent reflexes and a sharp glove hand. Usually in position and plays his angles well, but can get caught out of position now and then. Puckhandling needs work.
Quotable

"He has something you can't teach, which is size. He's 6-4 and covers a lot of space. I like the quickness that he has. I think he is real strong down low."
