Working on all of them right now. If I can't do your typical highlights for him I'll see if I can do a full game highlight kinda thing.

Goalie's are voodoo.....even for you

From a Russian poster on the main board:

8. Mikhail Berdin (GK, 6'2", 163 lbs; MHL: 2.07 GAA, .928 SVS% in 22GP)

Berdin is a goalie who plays an athletic and positionally calm game and is pretty solid on the rebound control for such a young goalie. Rather inconsistent and had quite a lot of ups and downs during the season though. One of the 'ups' came at the WJAC where he stopped almost everything, I'm pretty sure that NHL team scouts and management won't forget that.

Comparison/Projection: Berdin's style pretty much reminds me of Ivan Nalimov, in terms of the upside I think the right projection would be a solid and reliable NHL backup goalie. Goalies are usually the ones who need some time to fulfill their potential and Berdin shouldn't be an exception.
At the draft day: should be picked somewhere in the fourth or fifth draft rounds, would be a good option for a team looking for an improvement in the goalie prospect pipeline depth, but wouldn't be liking to spend a high pick for that, someone like New Jersey, Vancouver or even Toronto.
After the draft day: there are so far unconfirmed rumors that Berdin might cross the pond this summer to play in AHL/ECHL.

U DA REAL MVP

Games I have to choose from:

- A 48 out of 49 save performance where the video is very choppy and hurts my eyes a wee bit.

- A 27 out of 31 save performance with no audio.

I've watched about 10 minutes of each. He is very animated in the net. At one point an opposing player fell into him and he got right up and in his face. One very positive thing seems to be his communication, while I was watching the game with no audio he was consistently pointing out assignments to defenders and I'm assuming he was yelling as well.

In one of the games he also gets a penalty for tripping. He played the puck behind the net to his defender and tripped the opposing player coming around the net very obviously and then argued with the ref.

If I do the one with no audio I'm toying with the idea of recording myself talking over it.

He sounds like Bryzgalov already

Patrick Roy and Ilya Bryzgalov come to mind.

Those rumors were just a rumors, Berdin has confirmed that for now he stays with the Severstal team.

Will he be coming to Development Camp next week?

wrong thread

Berdin mentioned that he will participate in the Severstal team camp, which is officially starting on the 4-th of July, not sure if he can join later though.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

I took a whole bunch of video of a game and only noticed very late in my recordings that he played 42 minutes of the game and was pulled.

But he made 27 saves on 31 shots and I think there's some good video in there. He wasn't to blame for 2-3 of the goals anyway. On the first goal he was left out to dry; made 2 huge saves right in the slot and the 3rd went in.

I'll try to get it uploaded by tomorrow.

Thanks for the update.

Here it is. No audio so put some tunes on or whatever. Some ridiculous saves in there as well.

Really appreciate this, as well as all the others. Thanks so much!

Time to bump this thread. Seems more likely to get into the Jets system sooner rather than later now. Does anyone own his CHL rights? Think he'll try NCAA next year?

Could be steal of draft.

imports are not allowed in goal in the CHL

 

[Rheged]

Does he still have NCAA eligibility?

 

[Aavco Cup]

Does he still have NCAA eligibility?

He played for the Russian U18 team last year IIRC Is that considered a pro team?

NCAA is pretty unlikely anyway IMO

 

[puck stoppa]

Ushl then moose

 

[allan5oh]

So I'm guessing that since he won't be playing in the CHL and NCAA is unlikely he may be signed to an ELC contract sooner than later?

A signing bonus would give him some spending $$$ in Sioux Falls

Absolutely love this pick. Wasn't even familiar with him until the draft, but certainly looks like Chevy might have pulled off another late pick G steal.
