He has the same size as Henrik Karlsson and Reto Berra, but he's very quick with his pads, glove and blocker. The only weakness is his lateral movement and it's only a bit worse than Luongo's (speed moving across the net). I was shocked that he was that good considering he's only 19.
Because of his height, when he is on his knees, there are only a couple inches below the bar to aim for when he's hugging the post, which if he's playing out at the top of the crease to face a shooter like a normal goalie, there will be almost nothing to shoot at.
