Scouting Report
The resilient goaltender basically reinvented himself after dropping to the ECHL (and nearly out of hockey altogether). He improved his work ethic after changing organizations, adopting better practice habits and paying more attention to detail. He has quieted his movement, reduced his drifting and improved his post play. His battle level has also gotten much better, and he has turned himself into a viable NHL goaltender.
Long Range Potential: Late-blooming goaltender (when healthy).
