This big, athletic Swiss goalie somehow doesn't seem to have a thread so I figured I just create one.
Probably the most talented of the very promising Swiss 06 goalie group (also featuring Solér, Kirsch and Lachat). Had back to back shutouts for Switzerland at the youth olympics last season.

He's a late birthday as well, therefore not draft eligible until 2025.
Got his first taste of men's hockey just ahead of the tournament and won two games with EHC Chur giving up just one goal.
Brother Jonah could be one of the more interesting forwards available in the 2027 draft:
