I don't watch just remember good reports on him last season. If he makes NHL, I will have plenty time to watch him play

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
I don't think he is, last year when they sent Zavragin to the VHL to be the backup, they still sent him down to the MHL a couple of times to get in games. Unless the VHL club has made a trade, Volokhin should be the backup and hopefully can steal more time from the vet they have.
Lets hope that's true! I'd rather less games started but against better competition.
Quoting from the Demidov thread, but wanted to take the opportunity to ask if you had opinions on our other notable Russian prospects, namely Volokhin and Khanin ? (thread linked if you want to say your piece there)
We technically also have Sobolev and Kostenko, but we don't have much hope for them on this board.
Thank you for your input!
I will watch a few other games and report back. I do like Khanin a lot.
Remind me if I do not
he's the backup in the VHL again today, would be cool if he gets the next start though since it's against Kostenko's team.
they went with their 3rd goalie to start this one so their vet gets the day off but then he likely gets the next start I would think. Maybe they will send him down for a MHL game soon. Last year they sent the flyers 3rd round pick, Yegor Zavragin to the MHL throughout the season. He would go down and play a game and then go back up. Played 9 games in the MHL vs 17 as the backup in the VHL.
I wonder if they felt he needed to either build up his confidence a bit or just get him some work but surprised he got back to back games in the MHL so we'll see if he sticks around or goes back to the VHL after this. After his rough 1st career VHL start where he gave up 4 goals on 17 shots, he's now played 3 games in the VHL and has given up 3 goals on 87 shots.
Can SKA please trade Demidov also?

It's for this year, and then the next 2, so it ends after the '26-'27 season. I don't have any issues with him developing in Russia. I assumed Fowler will be in Laval by April so no sense in having both as I'd rather have a vet back up Fowler and then we'll see what happens with Volokhin over time. I've been really impressed with him though I struggle with goalies. Though he did just give up maybe the worst goal i've seen from him, although to be fair I tried slowing it down but I couldn't tell if it got deflected or he was just too slow with the glove.
Will be very interesting to see how Sochi handles him since they clearly have a starter and a young backup.
we'll see what they do as right now HK Rostov has 3 goalies. Elite prospects has had Volokhin on Sochi's roster as the 3rd goalie so I assume for now he's going to be in the KHL but who knows as info out of Russia is always hard to come by. They could send him back to the MHL for all we know.
