He is widely regarded as a top 10 goalie prospect with some ranking him as high as #3 in the mix with Askarov and Wallstadt.
The kid is like 2cm shorter than Shesterkin, and 3cm taller than Saros..it’s not like he is Vernon’s size or anything..
Why not wait to see if he fails or not before we write him off?

No one is writing him off, but the successful goalies in the NHL at his size is far and few. Especially since goalies as a whole are hard to predict.
We are all waiting and seeing as his development is the one thing that could shorten the rebuild.
