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

[mr figgles]

Hear me out, I know it’s crazy, but they could draft 11th overall and hope that a historically productive collegiate defenseman miraculously falls to them…

Pure fantasy, and what if he isn’t as tall as Florida’s bottom 4?

C'mon, get real!

26 shots against Zavragin, presumably? How is he looking?

No, 5 against Zavragin
Let in one goal (not his fault), made one good save.

 

[Alex K]

Zavragin made 18 saves in the 2nd, Torpedo put on some pressure, especially in the end, Zavragin looks solid.

 

[Alex K]

Fun game. Shots 50-40
A win for Zavragin, 37 saves on 40 shots. He looked good tonight.

 

[Sombastate]

He's looked good in both games. Hoping he continues to build his confidence this year

 

[Appleyard]

If he keeps this up he will probably be the best goalie in the Flyers organisation in terms of current actual level by the time his 20th birthday rolls around.

Outplaying Ivanov so comfortably behind the same D so far... I mean... that is extremely impressive.

He turned 19 a month ago.

And it's not like Bjarnason looked like a slouch in camp, much improved over last season.

It's going to be an interesting battle when Zavragin comes over (3 year deal, so 2027-28) after 3 years starting in the KHL.
At that point, Bjarnason will have 2 AHL seasons under his belt.
Kolosov had better shine while he's here.

Meanwhile Ersson looks like he has his mojo back, look forward to Fedotov tonight.

Still should try to take one goalie a year after rd 3, b/c the upside from a goalie is much higher than almost anyone else you'll draft after pick 100.

Right now Zavragin seems so far ahead of Bjarnason it is... well... just not a fair comparison.

At the present time Zavragin might be the best 2005 born goalie in the world. While Bjarnason might not be top 10.

It is hard to really say just how good Zavragin has been since being drafted... but "Shesterkin, Samsonov, Bobrovsky, Vasilevsky and Sorokin" is the best 6 words that probably gets closest to it.

Ofc the season is long... but if these 4 games are anything to go off? He might be the Flyers best goalie current level wise before he reaches 20 years old. That might seem hyperbolic, but if he posts like ~.910 sv%+ on this Sochi team and outplays Ivanov? With his track record? The odds he is going to be a good NHL starter are very, very, very high.

 

[deadhead]

It'll be an interesting battle. Bjarnason certainly looked like a NHL goalie in camp.
I though he had a mediocre season, .907 Sv%, then checked his backup, .874% (though only 17).

Better to have too many goalies than too few.

Based on what? Did you attend?
