G Pyotr Kochetkov (2019, 36th, CAR)

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Kochetkov is playing well at the WJC. He has good stats in the VHL this season and also recently got his KHL debut. He has good size, moves well in net, but also plays a refined game.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't get drafted.

Wins the IIHF best goaltender award

IIHF - Poehling MVP

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I would've given the award to Dostal and I still think Russia should've started Tarasov, but Kochetkov should definitely get drafted.

bump.. wouldnt mind hearing more on him

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Is he expected to back up Hellberg next season or is he going to have to fight it out with Melnichuk and Askarov for playing time?

I don't think Askarov is gonna play in the KHL next season. It will be Kochetkov and Melnichuk in the cage

Should be the 2nd goalie off the board but I could see a team preferring Sogaard's height and potential.

I think if they had a strong feeling about it SKA would have given Melnichuk to Sochi right away since they are in need of the backup now with a rather unproven starting goalie. But since they didn't, I assume they expect them both (Melnichuk and Kochetkov) to really compete for that spot.

Should be the 2nd goalie off the board but I could see a team preferring Sogaard's height and potential.

I'd say Kochetkov has way more typical height for a modern NHL goalie. Even Rinne is closer in height to him than to Sogaard. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Dane would be the first successful NHL goalie above 2m tall. Darling and Lindback were close but it didn't end pretty. Kochetkov, meanwhile, is right in that sweet spot as far as goalie sizes go.

Edit: nevermind, Bishop is 2.01

Welcome to Carolina!

There was a discussion in one of these threads recently that the Hurricanes couldn't afford to scout in Russia. A week later they pick a Russian playing in Russia in round 2, although its possible most of their viewings came at the WJC.

Very athletic. Would love to see it translate to the NHL for the Canes.
Either him or Ned for the next 10 years.

Better yet, how about a 10yr Pyotr/Ned tandem?
