Pretty cool to have him at the game with the team yesterday

I like that the team has been keeping tabs on him. They know he's a fit.

He was one of the biggest stories in college hockey this year. I think it's fair to say he is our clear cut #1 prospect.

I don't know about clear cut - Silayev is right up there as well and still may be ahead of Yegorov.

Yegorov definitely raised his stock, while I don't think Silayev did anything to hurt his - obviously much tougher to judge a defensive defenseman playing in a league that most of us don't watch.

It's a futile exercise to rank goalies against position players in general, but especially so as prospects. The exciting part of Yegorov is that there is a chance given how his college career goes that he could provide 2 years of ELC goaltending in the NHL, and if he is even a below-average goalie over that stretch, he would be incredibly valuable.

Derp, I forgot all about Silayev, was thinking Hams and Grits were our top prospects. Dang these guys playing behind the cloak of darkness. I do give Yeggo credit for getting out of there, and Silayev's ranking get's dinged because he could still be years away.

But you are right, definitely not clear cut, but after Yeggo's season, I do think it's debatable.

C'mon man, live a little.

When Silayev gets a nickname like Big Mike he'll have a case. Until then Big Mike is #1 in my eyes

We can call Silayev Big Mike, and call Big Mike Yegormeister.

Sounds Soprano-ish...he'll fit right in!

If we're going Soprano's, isn't "Sil" or "Silvio" the natural choice then?
