Prospect Info: Sergei Murashov, 118th overall, 2022 NHL Draft

[Bowski]

Guessing he moves up to the VHL next season?

And hopefully ESL.
We may not have the great leadership of Geno around anymore to yell at Russian prospects "You can't sleep, ****!"

 

[Riptide]

I do think it's a bit odd that a team loaded with goalies took a goalie, but given how important it is to have one and how hard it is to find one that's consistent, I'm okay with piling them high.

Not really... I mean it takes longer for a goalie on average to develop. Zero issues with us taking a goalie every draft.

I agree with this but think most teams don't do it so find it odd when it happens.

hmmm…unsigned?

Sergei Murashov surprises in showing up, but when will he be here for good?

I would be shocked if he leaves without us tendering a contract, tbh.

 

[deakka]

Problem is where to put him?
We are already full or one too many.

Jarry
Ned

Blomqvist
Larsson

Gauthier

maybe we can loan him to another AHL team? But That doesn't seem like the best thing

Can we just borrow Mark Stone’s doctor to sign LTIRetire paperwork for Jarry?

Yeah a Jarry trade would have been great and then Blomqvist move up and Murashov takes his spot. Not gonna happen tho

Trade Jarry and go with Larsson. Blom and Mur in the AHL? Pens are desperate. Gotta roll some dice.

That's great news, I hope they work something out with him

At the end of the day, this is what makes the most sense. I'm guessing KD is trying, but no takers out there for him

He is a much better prospect than Gauthier, and also Larsson.

Make room for him, simple as that.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Someone, maybe @Jacob, said something to the effect of sign him and then loan him to the Liiga or the SHL.

I don't see that as a possibility considering those leagues basically don't take in any Russians these days. There's really not any playing options in Europe for Russian players. It's Russia or North America for them.

 

[HandshakeLine]

honestly if Murashov is at all decent why not jettison one of the no-hopers and make room for him?

The good news is I think taylor said there's no deadline where Murashov has to be signed by like other draftees?
The bad news is Russian training camp starts in like a week or so I think the article said.
Not much time for the kid to decide. Or much more longer for the team to work something out for this season.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I’d actually love for him to stay in Russia. Assuming he’s happy there.

They know how to develop goalies over there.

 

[HandshakeLine]

If I were not into living in a despotic hellhole currently at war with its neighbor, I would probably want to develop my goaltending skills elsewhere.

Also, man, Yaroslavl is forever associated with the fact that they killed the entire team (the second time this has happened in Russian/Soviet hockey history) by taking a badly maintained plane.

I don't know if it's an issue. But somewhere deep inside I feel that if he goes back to Russia he'll never be able to slip back to the U.S

Not without bribes in the right places, which I'm kind of sure we don't do anymore?

 

[Fordy]

are you saying he's here right now at this moment because of a bribe

[HandshakeLine]

Nah because he doesn’t have a contract and he’s not an established KHL guy and we don’t really do that anymore . But NHL teamsused to bribe people all the time to bring them over. Jágr is one really noticeable and famous case (with a good documentary about it!) but there were others

 

[Turin]

He’s literally there now.

 

[SEALBound]

Cultivate him, nurture him, pet him, nurse him for he is the future. He's our only hope.

Our only hope? Are you sure?
