Career potential: Sami moves very well from post to post and posses quick reflexes. While he’s not the most athletic goaltender at his level, the youngster can change the flow of a game with his “out of this world” saves.

The bottom line here, Sami has the god given talent to be a big time goaltender at the next level and beyond.
