Anyone else concerned about Heil being NCAA material?

He didn't have the best performance at the WJC this year. Seemed to be not squaring up 100% correctly to shooters at times when he gave up his goals. Granted that seems like something that could be corrected with practice.

He's been a consistent sub .900 save percentage goaltender in the USHL. That doesn't seem to bode well for the collegiate level.

His numbers have been basically the same for 4 years. Hobie had roughly the same GAA but a better SV% and he didn’t turn out at all. Wait to see how he does when he gets here.
 

I feel the next goalie commit will be from the WHL.

Similar numbers to Adam Gajan and he is going to be playing in the Olympics.  Not saying he will or won’t be good at the collegiate level, but as we have seen with judging guys solely by numbers, there are a lot of outliers and different development paths.  
 

I would be more worried if the coaches are having concerns, because they are evaluating the play of all of our prospects, but I trust they will do what is best for the program.  Don’t want to move on from someone like we did with Stephen Halliday and then regret it.
