Not sure how much of that was deserving given his stats there. But we will take it I guess. Good for him

Always important to remember goalie development is nothing like player development , both in the timeline and manner of progression. Ive seen quite a bit of doubt in his abilities given that following his big season in the Super W, he was pretty average his final season and really average stat wise so far in pro.
Goalies sometimes have to grow through a painful process in order to improve their game. Often they need to take a step back before they take two forward. Professional coaching is absolutely going to force him to make adjustments to his game and some of those changes may be hard to implement without periods of struggling.
What’s important with him, he’s young, he’s massive and seems to have a drive to win and improve. It may take 3-5 years before we ever see him in detroit, but i promise if he continues to progress without major setbacks he will be a solid NHL goalie.
