His head: Larry Pleau told me they went with him based on his AHL playoff success and his upside. Went 10-8-0 in AHL playoffs and was strong. His confidence was good down the stretch.

His hands: Has a tremendous glove. He is long (6-3, 195) and can fire out the glove. Positioning not always great. Relies on his hands in many situations.

His feet: Looks like a young Olaf Kolzig at times. He plays a butterfly style and can get down quick on the low ones. His lateral movement will improve with time and experience.

His stick: Very good puckhandler, can shoot it the length of the ice with no problems.

His technique: He plays a butterfly style, but not always technically sound as far as squaring to the shooter. His positioning will need to get better in order to play with the big boys. He is a battler, though.

His head: Based on his last two regular-season games, who the heck knows! He has Gretzky-like confidence and can clearly get in the head of the opposition when he stays in the net and stops the puck.

His hands: He watches as the puck enter his glove. He drops his stick to cover the puck with his blocker. He uses his hands in an unconventional way because of his ability to slow the puck down in his mind.

His feet: He's able to spread his pads from post to post at times -- while laying on his stomach! He has great flexibility and reflexes.

His stick: He thinks he is better than he is at playing the puck. Instead, he should just leave the puck for his defensemen. He's not an aggressive pokechecker.

His technique: There is no video available just yet to teach this technique. When there is a scramble, anything goes. He won't quit on a puck, and that is his greatest asset.
