Not overly surprised he went in the 4th round as he was the top re-entry goalie in this draft and finished 8th in my personal goalie rankings for these reasons below:

On the ice Prosvetov brings a highly attractive play style that sees him capable of moving his large frame around the ice quickly and not just quickly for a larger goalie either. Prosvetov has legitimate physical gifts that go beyond his current frame. He’s strong in both his core strength and in his leg strength. Prosvetov is able to drive to his knees hard and get back up to his feet quickly due to his core strength. His leg strength gives him an explosive portion to his game that allows Prosvetov to move his large frame quickly across the crease obviously making it frustrating for shooters. What teams will also like about Prosvetov is that he’s doing well learning about how to use his size properly. Generally he moves around the crease in a taller/compact stance to make the most of his footwork but when it comes to getting set for the shot Prosvetov switches to a low/wide stance that doesn’t see him give up the top part of the net because of his frame. His stance combined with his moderately aggressive crease depth sees Prosvetov making the most of his frame and he knows he has the leg power to make up the distance on cross ice passes. When it comes to puck handling Prosvetov did well making confident, quick decisions showing power on his passes and clears.

Despite having a better grasp on how to use his size than other goalies in his age group Prosvetov is still raw in his technical abilities. As mentioned above Prosvetov is capable of making powerful pushes around the net but when he does so he often leaves his upper body positioning noticeably behind his lower body positioning. Another technical inconsistency is in regards to his low/wide stance. When he gets into that stance his arms get very wide themselves which does lead to the opening of some room between his arms and body. Another aspect that Prosvetov will need to improve upon is how over active he can get in net. He loves to activate his edges and this gets him into trouble in two different ways, either he’s moving into shots too much taking himself out of position or he’ll aggressively anticipate the shot forcing him to go into scramble mode if the shot doesn’t occur. Working on the technical parts of the game will allow him to trust himself more thereby allowing him to stay calmer in net.

There’s a good side to Prosvetov’s activeness and it’s how often he chooses to go with an active save selection. He’s always looking to direct the puck into non-dangerous areas and his overall puck tracking is a major factor in making this happen. There’s no real noticeable dips in how he tracks the puck around the ice or in how he tracks shots into his body. Any dangerous rebounds he lets out are most likely due to the issues mentioned above in being too active or not having his body positioned correctly. Analytically his puck tracking, active save selections, and physical skills shine through on shots directly off of passes. The USHL (tracked) average Impact Rating is a 2.402 and Prosvetov posted a 1.857 Impact Rating in these situations. The biggest task for Prosvetov will be continuing to refine his game which will show through in all results.

Saginaw fan here I hope he ends up in the OHL he was drafted 15th overall in the CHL import Draft by Saginaw. He would be getting excellent amount of games on a very talented club. 68 game schedule plus playoffs big time development. Big young man with plenty to prove. Good luck Ivan.

Saginaw fan back couldn't be happier than the Spirit signing Prosvetov. The starting job is all his and sure glad Arizona drafted him. He will more than likely mentor Lennox first goalie taken in the OHL draft. We need to sign Bode Wilde on defense and look out this team will only develop and mature over the 68 game schedule and will be a serious contender in the Western Conference. That said if you need updates throughout the year I can give you an honest and slightly biased opinion on his progress or check the Spirit thread.
Love the mask as well.

He can only play home games due to border issues still 10 games in.
Ivan has won his last 4 starts and has played well. Very agile for a big man we are a much better team with Ivan between the pipes. Saginaw was ranked 9th in the CHLthis week.

Ivan's record is 17-6-2 .895 save% and has really picked up his game. The skill level of the OHL, he has adjusted well. Makes some huge saves every game. He can let a softy in at times, otherwise he is developing well and stealing a game here and there.
