"It just takes a while for most goalies to find their way and to get their age and the maturity level to be like, I can carry them. I don't know him well enough to say one way or another, but I think just from how he interacts and how he played this year in some really tough spots to give the team the boost they needed. I thought that really bodes well, but I have to look a little deeper into the personality off-site stuff.
I love what he's doing but I think from the surface, for me anyway, the game alone, yeah, I think he could be [as good as Oettinger]. He does have the pedigree but it's a lot of ups and downs and you have to avoid the downs and stay on the ups, right, and ride that thing out and I think that's what he can do."
