Depending on who they pick this year, I might just keep McGroat at #1. Hes having a solid rookie season at 20 years old

McGroarty will be my #2 or #3. We will have a top 10 pick and a top 20 pick in the system when we vote again.
Murashov probably won’t even be top-5 for me when the prospect voting happens next.
Top-5 will most likely be some order of McGroarty, Koivunen, Brunicke and their 2 1sts from this draft.

Goalies are voodoo, but Murashov's numbers are pretty impossible to ignore so far.
But yeah, again, goalies are f***in' weird.

If you don't have a Drew O'Connor, you've gotta go out and get a Drew O'Connor.
We have to turn every young player into Drew O'Connor. It's the Sullivan Curse.
Wes Clark is one of the very best player personnel and scouting heads there is in the NHL. He will definitely help. Just hope he has a top eight pick this draft. Gotta start accruing cornerstones for the future.
A real shame Jarry has to screw us in both directions!

I think the Murashov talk is less about Murashov being a sure thing, and more about this prospect pool still being pretty lackluster with nobody in the ranks really jumping way out ahead of the pack when it comes to talking rankings imo.
I am not sure when I reach the point where I no longer care about his rebound control, but it's somewhere in the not-so-distant future. What was it ol' GW said? "Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice...... can't fool me again."
I don't say that because I dislike Murashov, it's more that goalies are voodoo and Murashov has only played in 16 games in his career between the AHL and KHL.
I'm just waiting for a larger sample size on Murashov. Blomqvist played in 45 games in the AHL last year with the same .921 save% that Murashov has between the ECHL and AHL this year, but Blomqvist has generally struggled this year relative to the other goalies in the organization.
I didn't take it as disrespectful at all. @Big Friggin Dummy said it best above, it's hard to parse apart the skill level he has with the overall putridity of the pipeline. Any diamond in the rough is gonna get a little bit of the hype treatment. Trying to keep my hype in check, but he is legitimately one of the fastest netminders I've ever seen at these levels of play. It's wild to see him thrive amid chaos. For now, I think we should all sit back and enjoy. Hopefully he grabs the net for the playoffs and we get a really nice run of games to judge.
Yeah that's a legit point too, I remember that Tankov was hyped up at one point due to him putting up very good VHL numbers at a young age.
