Powered By
The Pro Hockey Group
Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.

For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

1B
Projection: #1B
Trending: Under NHL Contract
A big body who takes up a ton of net when playing with poise and not wandering outside the posts.
Hybrid / Butterfly style. Athletic. Agile. Above average gloves. Good push laterally. Plenty strong and quick enough to move side to side and use his size to his advantage to make desperation stops. Rebound control has ranged at times this season. When the play in front of him is organized, he tends to absorb pucks and find shots through traffic more effectively.
Five game segment - from Jan 31st - February 27th - his game road the roller coaster that is the San Jose Sharks in 23/24 .... Faced 161 shots ... Plenty high danger ... Allowed 18 goals against ... save percentage in four games .912 / .974 / .902 / .912 - one poor outing = .774 and 7 goals against ...
Pending UFA ... Cap hit $2.75M ... Better than a backup ... not quite a true #1A
