At a 15.6 overall (94th of 104 goaltenders), the goaltender is fighting for a regular spot on the Carolina Hurricanes depth chart.

He has allowed 5.9 more goals than expected given shot quality, which is what holds the rating back.

He surged from 9.8 in 2024-25 to 25.8 in 2025-26, one of the bigger jumps in his 7-season card history.

The contract, $913K through 2027-28, grades Fair: the model's expected value of $850K is within $63K of what he is paid.

The Carolina Hurricanes have $6.36M of space under the $104M cap this season.

How we rate players: each skater's overall is a percentile (0-100) built from offense, defense, play driving, finishing, power-play and penalty-kill impact against players at the same position; goalies are rated on goals saved above expected. Contract value compares the cap hit with the salary the model expects for that level of production, age and position. Figures are updated as new games and signings arrive.
