Really liked Volokhin and Zavragin last year, going to be comparing & following their progress for the next 5-10 years to see who turns out better

It's crazy that even Hab fans don't seem to care much about him but I think Volokhin is one of the best goalie prospects in the world yet any videos I do of him barely get 200-400 views.

I like Jacob Fowler more as a prospect as a personal preference, but Volokhin is very good too.

What a lot of our fans don't understand is how well Vololhin has played this year as a 19 year-old rookie (only turns 20 in April) for a very weak Sochi team in the KHL, despite the stats not looking great outright for him this season.

If they dug a little depper, they'd see that Volokhin also was lights out in the MHL the years prior and is actually a very strong prospect for the Canadiens.

But no. Volokhin doesn't boast gaudy stats, isn't hyped-up by scouts, and he's playing in a league that gets less coverage so people don't watch him much.

It's a bit sad to see but it is what it is.
