When is tbis guy expected to come over to North America?

KHL contract ends after 2019/20 season.. So still 2 more years after this year ends.

 

[DJB]

Wow dang. Dude is a stud. Guess we have to wait.

Sorokin is in the same boat right? His contract ends same time right?

Thats off by a year. Its done after 18-19, there's confusion over whether he voided the final year of his last contract when he signed his most recent contract. Some sources don't think he did, but its been confirmed that he did, so its 18-19. And he could always buy out the last year, and come over next year.

I think he extended it, so its one or two years after Shestyorkin. Prior to Sorokin's extension, his contract was up after this season.

oh ok that's good to know.. I had just googled it and all the info back was 2019/20.. but 2018/19 is better!!

I thought the game winning goal he allowed today was goalie interference, hopefully Znaroks doesn't hold it against him that he got the loss. I don't think he played well, but I wouldn't say the loss was on him.

Oh, the D just forgot to show up. I mean Kaprizov was constantly trying to bail them out with no defenceman within a mile of the net. With little success, but who'd blame him as a winger?

Goals were not exactly on Shestyorkin.

Obviously I don't care about one loss long-term, but Sorokin is pushing him for the starters spot at the Olympics and is very good, so every game matters.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Good to see our replacement for Lundqvist is just as adept as Lundqvist at handling the puck behind the net

 

[Lays]

I know you’re kidding but Shesty is actually very good at handling the puck

 

[Edge]

While Shestyorkin is arguably one of the top goalie prospects in the sport, we should always keep in mind that he has areas to work on - like all 21 year old goalies do.

He tends to play a little deep, could use fine tuning on positioning, making himself bigger, consistency and poise.

But these things are to be expected and should be noted. Lundqvist was an elite level goalie who was beginning the start of a HOF career when he jumped right in. For most other players, there's much more of a transition.

Rebound control, as well. I think he does well with making himself big, actually, but I agree, all young goalies have things to work on.

 

[HansonBro]

Has he been dubbed the Emperor yet?

Has he been dubbed the Emperor yet?

At this point - Tsar only

At this point - Tsar only

Thought it was only fitting an Emperor replaces the King

Tsar makes more sense since that's Russia's version of a King. I think an emperor is an Asian thing.

Edit: Never mind, it's a European thing, I must have confused it with something else. "Roman emperor". Brain fart!

He had been struggling with injuries and lack of form the last few months. Big performance for him to get a shutout.

6th shutout win this season.
