G Yegor Zavragin - SKA St.Petersburg, KHL (2023, 87th, PHI)

[Caser]

Considered by many as the next big goalie thing out of Russia, Yegor Zavragin somehow doesn't have a thread here. Doing great in terms of the numbers, not so great in terms of the fancy highlights though, as he doesn't play in the KHL.

Recently read that Ivanov is going there also. I can't see Sochi having both of them.

Why not? Ivanov as 1A and Zavragin as 1B or something like that.

Would they want two young goaltenders as opposed to having an older goaltender to show them the ropes?

Not like Sochi is expected to be very competitive to care much about the lack of experience at GK.

Isn´t Sochi kind of farm team for SKA.

As far as I can figure out, they take loaned players from other teams who are usually too good to be sent to the VHL - usually young players who won't get playing time with their KHL clubs and who they want to get experience with KHL competition. Just a guess.
