2008-09: OHL Goaltender of the Year for the second year. Signed three-year deal with Hurricanes in March of 2009.

Talent Analysis

His slight stature could hold him back.  He will need to compensate for his lack of ideal size with athleticism.

Future

The unconventional-yet-spectacular goalie will likely take over the top AHL spot in 2010-11.
