G Yegor Guskov - Molot Perm, VHL (2020 undrafted)

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I doubt he'll get drafted because he's a 5'11 Russian goalie, but every other part of his game is high level. Check back on this thread in a few years when its WJC time and he's playing well there or a few years after that when NHL teams are trying to sign him because he's having success in the KHL.

Big performance in the WJAC final for him.

Any relation to Matvei?

You would think watching Khdobin these playoffs and also Halak guys would take a flyer on a goalie like this with a late pick

He is 5'11''. The smallest drafted goalie was a sole 6'. All others at least 6'1''. And two 6'8'' guys I've never heard of. Russia's backup for the upcomung WJC Skotnikov who is 6' was not drafted. I think you get the picture.

It took Miftakhov two extra years to get drafted, as well.

He has the second highest SV% in the MHL at .941. The guy with the highest SV% has played 19 less games and is only at .942.

I think he has a good chance to make the Russian WJC team next year. From there, if he can get a game or two as Askarov's back up and show his game more to scouts on the bigger stages, maybe he's drafted in 2022 or signed as a free agent eventually.

I doubt he's drafted this year, but I hope he is. He should've been in 2020.

 

[Caser]

Set the new MHL shutout win record with 13 shutouts.

Do you think he might get drafted this year?

Do you think he might get drafted this year?

Unlikely due to size, but I think not impossible, as the pandemic might increase his draft stock, so in case the goalie draft class isn't deep someone might be willing to spend a 6th or 7th round pick to try to add depth to their GK prospect pipeline.

 

[Caser]

Recorded a 46-save shutout win in MHL playoff game yesterday.

 

[Caser]

Named the best MHL goalie this season, which is pretty solid, since this was his first full-time season there.

While the puckhandling is actually his strength, this is something he will remember for awhile:
