Daniel Vladar Scouting Report

Vladar, like the entire Flames team, has struggled to start the season.
His save percentage has been sub .900 in every one of his four starts.

Vladar plays a butterfly / hybrid style. He's big in the net. When his crease composure is 'on' he plays between his posts and takes up a ton of net. His read / react / tracking has been slightly off and resulted in a lack of strong east / west push in his crease and goals above his pads / below his gloves when in the butterfly. He also needs to 'start periods on time' and find a way to make big saves in the first five minutes.

Vladar competes. He has enough game to push a pure starter for time in the net, and he's only 26 years young.

He's not ready to carry a 55 or 60 game load, but he's on an attractive contract and could definitely provide some stability for a team looking for a reliable #2A / #1B. He's a better goalie than his results have shown early in 23/24.
