Not that a sixth-round pick is ever likely to play in the NHL, but taking such a narrow view on a young developing goaltender is a huge mistake. How he did in a handful of AHL games straight out of junior age is meaningless with regard to where he will be in 5 years.
In Finland he seems to be regarded as a genuine talent. No one thinks he's ready but some people see good things in him.
