Got hurt on the last shift. Can’t believe we spent a second round pick on that.

Cliff notes?

Does he still play like a defenseman?

Nothing really happened.

He plays like a 6th-7th round pick.

He plays like a 6th-7th round pick.

That’s really unexpected from someone that scored as little as he did in Junior hockey.

He plays like a 6th-7th round pick.

You’re saying he’s the next Jesper Bratt?

Zavragin is having an historic KHL season for a U20 goalie.
We'll see if he keeps it up, but if he does, it's a better season than Shesterkin, Sorokin or Bob at 19.
Vasilevskiy is the only one with a similar KHL performance at 19 years old.
28g .923 Sv5, PO 18g .934.
So far this season:
19g .930

Well, I'm not going to take anything away from Zavragin's excellent performance, BUT...regarding Shesterkin and Sorokin, in those years, the KHL was a bit stronger. More top-level Russian players, more good-quality European foreigners...
Vasilevsky's performance to me was more valuable than Zavragin's - he had a worse team (not a bad team at all, but not as stacked as SKA), and most importantly, he played lights out in the playoffs, not (only) in the regular season.
So, it's early to make comparisons, although, Zavragin is having a hell of a season, that's for sure, and he has NHL potential all over him.

Also, part of what makes a goalie valuable is stamina, the difference between a franchise goalie and a 1A.

Now at 19, he's not going to be physically mature, still, how he finishes the season will give a clue to his future potential - if he can maintain this level of play over 40-50 starts he could be something special.

And the POs are always a good test, better opponents, more pressure.

Barkey with a goal (PP) and 4 apples (3 on PP).
Bonk has a goal and assist (PP)

Any updated opinions on Cole Knuble? Seems to be having a good year. Still projected to be a winger or is there center hope?
