George is the second rated goalie for North America from NHL Central Scouting. He battled through some growing pains, at times, this year playing for Owen Sound in the OHL.
Athletic. Battles. Good feet. Quick pads.
Rebound control can range at times, but he's working to eat pucks from distance.
Lateral push is strong. Has the leg strength, read/react/push, to get across and make saves on the back side post. Competes. Never quits on the play. Fronts the puck well.
This draft cycle doesn't have many high-end goalies to chose from. George has the net in Owen Sound as the starter, and two years of development ahead of him after he's drafted this June.
His foundation is strong. Should be one of the first goalies selected in Vegas.
