Prospect Info: Round 3, 87th overall: Egor Zavragin, G, Mamonty Yugry (MHL), now with SKA

[freakydallas13]

At 18-19 (Dec B-day), Shesterkin bounced between the MHL, VHL and KHL.
At 19-20, 25 VHL games, 7 KHL games
At 20-21, 39g .937 Sv% for SKA. [year and 8 months older than Zavragin]
Zavragin, August B-day will be 19 all season, 18g in the KHL so far.

So yeah, Zavragin is well ahead of where Shesterkin was at the same age. Facts is facts.

Doesn't mean he'll turn out as good, for one thing let's see if he can sustain this performance for a whole season.

Sure, man.

You should use that motto more often.

This is how we got to Michkov as the best Russian prospect of all time.

Comparing raw goalie stats is dangerous to begin with. When it’s across a decade in a league that has changed drastically since? Yikes.

Didn't say it was definitive, but still, to do this at 19 in the KHL is pretty amazing.

Think how good he will be with Hunter Mac defending in front of him.

They were all great until they weren’t. But the flyers don’t have a development problem.

Only smallish guys like Pautov. Told he was a steal!
Turns out the smallish steal was Gendron, who people said was nepotism.
Go figure.

In 18 KHL games, Zavragin now has a .930 Sv%.
Not sure anyone in KHL history has put up those kind of numbers before they turned 20.
If he sustains this performance he's in a very small group.
