At a 27.9 overall (85th of 104 goaltenders), the goaltender is fighting for a regular spot on the Montreal Canadiens depth chart.

He has allowed 3.9 more goals than expected given shot quality, which is what holds the rating back.

His rating fell from 76.3 in 2023-24 to 43.1 in 2024-25, one of the bigger drops in his 6-season card history.

The contract, $1M through 2026-27, grades Fair: the model's expected value of $875K is within $125K of what he is paid.

The Montreal Canadiens have $1.5M 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.
