Prospect Info: 2014 NHL Draft / Pick #118 - Igor Shestyorkin (G) - Part II

[SnowblindNYR]

Hellberg is performing as well. It's not as if they have a **** backup goalie.

So then I'll ask the age old question. How do we know Shestyorkin isn't a product of the team?

Hellberg is performing as well. It's not as if they have a **** backup goalie.

Hellberg:
3-2-0
.911 save %
1.81 GAA

vs

4-0-0
.961 save %
1.00 GAA


I wouldn't exactly say he is performing as well.

I think AK meant "performing as well" as in..."he's performing well too" not "performing as well as Igor"

Ah gotcha.

Yea I agree he is performing well and not a complete disaster, but at the same time a #1 has emerged between the 2. Whether they go with him as the starter or do the 50/50 thing again has yet to be seen.

You call that "not performing"? Okay...

Irish already straightened it up, your grammar is tough to understand sometimes.

 

[Kovalev27]

911 is not a great sav% on that team whatsoever not for nothing.

I read that after replying haha. No worries.

 

[Inferno]

.911 with a 1.81 gaa...man he must not be seeing much rubber at all.

Nobody beats out my terrible grammar and my lack of re-reading before I post things I might have just read yours too quickly.

 

[Zine]

Isn't it the job of the coaches to play your best players? Are they really sitting him because he'll play in the NHL next season? So SKA's coach is basically (possibly) throwing games out of petty spite? I understand with Rykov who won't move any needles, but Shestyorkin?

Enough with the NYR conspiracy theories....

If you can help SKA win games, you'll receive ice time regardless of whether leaving the KHL is imminent. See Koskinen, Dadonov, Voynov, Yakovlev, Tarasenko, Cervenka, Kovalchuk, Panarin, etc., etc.
On this year's squad, Gusev, Prokhorkin, and Barabanov are likely off to the NHL next year yet they are still key players for Vorobyov.
As for Shestyorkin, SKA has implemented a dual goalie system long before Shestyorkin made the roster.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Barabanov signed an extension.

Speaking of Koskinen, if I'm not mistaken, numerous Rangers fans last year theorized Koskinen received preferential treatment because Shestyorkin's future was in the NHL. lol

I’m pretty sure it was Koskinen got the preferential treatment/benefit of the doubt because he was a veteran

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

2017-18:
Koskinen 29
Shestyorkin 28

2016-17:
Koskinen 23
Shestyorkin 39

2015-16:
Koskinen 41
Yezhov 16
Shestyorkin 7

2014-15:
Koskinen 21
Salak 19
Ivannikov 16
Shestyorkin 6
Yezhov 2

In 2016-17 Shestyorkin played more than Koskinen and the season before Koskinen was the clear starter but there is definitely evidence to show that SKA is a team that rather goes for a tandem instead of a clear starter

 

[Levitate]

Wasn’t koskinen hurt in 2016-17

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Wasn’t koskinen hurt in 2016-17

I think he was, but I can't find any information on it which is why I didn't mention it.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

lol, yes you are mistaken. The theory was he got the ice time because he was veteran.

 

[nyr2k2]

No, there was definitely a lot of concern that he was being held back because SKA didn't want to play him knowing he'd be gone in a year or two. That concern has been around for a couple years now.

Don't recall this. Maybe 1-2 people said it but that was the excuse for Rykov. All i remember is people discussing how SKA always favors the older players on the team which is why Kosk played so much.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Speaking of Koskinen, if I'm not mistaken, numerous Rangers fans last year theorized Koskinen received preferential treatment because Shestyorkin's future was in the NHL. lol

This has already been settled.

The goalie coach said multiple times that Koskinen received preferential treatment because he had a first goalie contract.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Wasn’t koskinen hurt in 2016-17

I think he had two, one early in the season and then one in the playoffs. He also was at the WCH, and Shestyorkin did well while he was sitting in the stands as Finland's #3. I don't even think there was a share of duty going into that season. I think Shestyorkin earned it because of how well he played while Koskinen was away.

 

[Levitate]

Ultimately if Shesty gets about equal play I think that's fine for him. He'll have to learn to shoulder a bigger workload if he wants to be a NHL starter but he doesn't have to jump into that from day 1 either

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Igor Shestyorkin has been named KHL Goalie of the Week.

All but confirms he will be the backup next game /s

 

[nyr2k2]

Game against Sibir today, who have 0 points from 10 games and have been by far the league's worst team. No word on goalies yet.
