ASSETS: Is a big-framed 'keeper who can cover a lot of net. Has a wealth of experience at the elite-league level in Europe, which helps in his transition to the North American pro game.
FLAWS: Needs to adjust to the smaller ice surfaces in North America, since he's not used to seeing as much rubber from game to game. Can at times be a little shaky with the glove. Lacks consistency.
CAREER POTENTIAL: Solid backup goaltender.
