Lovably dubbed "The World's Okayest Goalie," for a long time it seemed like that would be all that Aaron Dell was. After all, he was an undrafted, tiny 6-foot goalie who had bounced around from the CHL to the ECHL when it absorbed the CHL to the AHL and then back down to the ECHL after a few games.
In an age of goaltending where guys like Ben Bishop, Matt Murray, and Devan Dubnyk, who are all 6'4 or taller, have almost made it a requirement to be tall in order to be an NHL goalie, to predict that Aaron Dell would ever make it as a viable goalie in the NHL would be almost blasphemous.
