Kolosov:
2022-23: .912 Sv%, .917 in 3 PO games. .892 in 4 Int'l games. Backup, Shostak .909
2023-24: .907 Sv%, .925 in 6 PO games, .875 in 2 Int'l games. Backup, Ferguson .904

Watching him, he's athletic with a quick glove, but he's also 6'0, so positioning and anticipation is vital b/c he can't just block the net. And that generally comes with experience.
We don't really ever agree, but I agree with you here. Kolosov doesn't do much for me. He's small and from seeing a few clips, really relies on his athleticism, which seems to be great. I don't know how well that's going to translate to the NHL, but I don't think he's the answer.

Saros on Nashville is listed at 5'11 180, so you can play well at his size, but there are only a few small goalies in the NHL, so there's more risk.

Saros at 19: Liiga, .929 Sv%, backup (13g) .880 Sv%
Saros at 20: AHL .920 Sv%, 1B .912 Sv%
Saros at 21: AHL .934, NHL .923%

Don't think Kolosov has shown anything that suggests he's in the same tier as Saros.

Wonder why Sochi is so bad, looking at a map, Minsk and Sochi are probably the two best places to live in the KHL. Moscow of course, but you need to be highly paid to enjoy it.

They are poor.

Same as a lot of the best places to live in the NHL for years were bad.

Could not pay for top players and don't have a big fan base etc.

That may be a bad thing.
What role would Zavragin have on SKA?
Playing one game a week or less would be bad for his development.

I'd imagine if SKA is obtaining him the intention is for him to play.
This is as much confirmation as anything to tell me that we may have something here. Charlie hinted last week that the Flyers may feel the same way.

This won’t go the same way as Michkov where they let him go early. SKA wants him to play and win championships for them. And then maybe we get him at age 23 or 24.

Was there an injury to Serebeyakov? He played 40+ games for SKA last year and has pretty good numbers so far. Pavel Moysevich, drafted by the Knights this past summer is also in St. Petersburg but with their MHL (junior) team.

He's on a 3 year contract, if he's that good, he'll come over when it expires in 2027-28, b/c the money here is just too good to turn down for a starter caliber goalies.

Which is fine, by that point they'll know if Ersson is a keeper, if Kolosov and Bjarnason can play and make an appropriate decision, who to keep, who to trade, who to bury in LHV.
