He's the right height and (now) weight for being a goalie, and is very athletic. He'll be given every chance to earn that contract for Carolina.

While he may be very risky to hit his ceiling, he's lights out better than the other two Carolina options if he in fact does he hit that ceiling.
So? I said he came to camp out of shape and uninterested. He did. Struch said false. Regardless of what got Darling to that point, nothing I said was wrong and thats what I took issue with. He was brought to in to be the starter. Ward & Lack gave up what I think was a league high GA. Darling was to be their answer.
