Talent Analysis
Dalton is a very competitive goaltender who plays his angles well and blocks more than absorbs the puck. He stays on his feet longer than a lot of modern goaltenders, but is still the most vulnerable up high.
Has a very even keel about him and is a good teammate.
Future
Dalton is a legitimate prospect for the Bruins. Will likely play in Providence in 2010-11.
