Drafted: 130 overall, 2012 round 5 (Logo of the Winnipeg Jets WPG)
Contract: $37,000,000 over 6 years (Cap hit: $6,166,667)
Plays a positional / butterfly style - huge in the net - big body goalie who doesn't have to venture far to be in line with making stops
Carries a heavy work load for the Jets - in (22/23) he was a Vezina finalist - in 64GP he posted a 2.49 GAA and .920%
Ability to steal games on any given night - not overly athletic - average plus feet - relies heavily on crease composure and positioning - both glove hands are solid / not elite - difficult to beat in tight due to stature - there are nights he can be better 'starting on time' - making stops in the first five minutes of periods. Not the kind of goalie who scrambles a lot moving laterally.
One of the top goalies in the NHL overall - on an expiring contract - Free agent summer 2024
