My scouting report from his USHL season. I thought he struggled as the season progressed. He started very well. I think he'll be good, as long as he's not rushed. Probably will need a bunch of years before he can even be considered for the NHL. 2 or 3 years at UMass, and quite possibly some AHL time after that.

Reminds me a little of Sebastian Cossa. Big goalie that moves very well for his size. Not scrambling all over the place either. He’s pretty refined and has tended to have high save percentages throughout his career, which I continue to believe is by far the most important thing in judging success of goalie prospects. He could get better at some technical refinement of where he’s positioned vs the post or how quick he reads plays or stick positioning, but I think this guy is right there in contention for first goalie off the board. Probably wouldn’t be a first rounder for me because I’m not 100% sold on him as a true star goalie prospect, but I think he’s a very likely second rounder, and how high in the second round will be the question.
 
First non-exhibition start for UMass yesterday, made 24 saves on a 6-3 win over Michigan. While 0.889 doesn't look impressive they lost 7-2 to Michigan the day before in which the other goalie (22yo) posted a 0.774

He received praise for his performance in this game as well as his exhibition start last week so it seems like he's off to a good start.
 
Him and Bonk came home and tore shit up! Nice to see for both of them. It's a shame because he's really good and had a shaky few games with that glove side and that is all some will remember. I look forward to him being the starter again next year! Work on the nerves as I assume that is what is causing the glove issues.
