Since he entered the organization in 2019.

2X WHL Goalie of the Year (2020, 2021)
1x CHL Goalie of the Year (2020)
2X AHL Goalie of the Year (2022, 2023)
1x AHL MVP (2023)
NHL All-Rookie Team (2025)
Calder Runner Up (2025)

The organization has 6 years of seeing him in the organization now, and he's been pretty good at every level.

Of course some risk involved, but this contract isn't based on just his one year in the NHL for sure.

Yes, thank you for this. This isn't a "flash in the pan" guy like Jim Carey (1 r not two like the actor). This guy has shown that after a brief adjustment period, he will quickly become one of the top 3 goalies in any league he's in, often the very best in the league. It's a safe bet when a guy shows progression like that and is only 24.
