Add Halverson.

 

[Ail]

Saarela add Zboro.

 

[Revel]

Went with Graves to celebrate his All-Star selection. Kid is good.

Add Zboro. It's getting tough to choose which guys to add now. No one from the "to be added" list is an obvious choice now.

 

[Raspewtin]

Shesterkin add Zboro I guess

Shesty. Kid is too dominant everywhere he plays.

Add Halverson pls

Shesty. Kid is too dominant everywhere he plays.

That's what I've been saying.

1. Makes the Russian U20 Juniors (MHL) at the age of 16 and starts his rookie season with 2.10 and .920. Then he abuses the MHL playoffs with 1.59 and .948 in his 9 games despite being one of the youngest players on the ice every game.

2. Puts up a terrific 2.26 and .937 at the U18 which started a few days after he turned 17, so still one of the youngest players in the tournament, and one of the best.

3. Makes the KHL as a 17-year-old and puts up 2.80 and .903 in his 9 KHL starts. It's insane that the kid could keep up in the world's second-best league, a league superior to the AHL, in the season before he was first eligible to get drafted.

4. Meanwhile, in his pre-draft season when he wasn't in the KHL, he was abusing the Russian Juniors (MHL) with 1.42 and .947 during the regular season and 1.75 and .937 in his 19 playoff games. Those are downright dominant numbers and yet he was a year or two younger than most MHL starters.

5. As an 18 year old, he put up 2.33 and .917 in the KHL (superior league to the AHL) and 1.72 and .943 in the VHL (superior to the ECHL). The VHL is far better than Canadian Juniors and he abused it.

6. In the WJC, he posted 1.98 and .938, beating out the favored (Islanders prospect) goalie for the starting job. His numbers were even better, but in the last game he gave up a couple of goals early and got pulled. He also put up 1.61 and .945 in the other international tournaments he played in.

7. This year, he abused the VHL with 1.20 and .952. The VHL is a quality league that pays its players more than most European leagues. These are just phenomenal numbers.

8. He also put up very respectable 2.18 and .925 in the KHL. I saw 4 of his 5 KHL starts and he was good, not just lucky.

The kid is for real.

Shesterkin. Halverson.

 

[E-Train]

Shesty, add Halverson

 

[Beacon]

Honestly, considering the brutal numbers (3.28 and 0.895) Halverson put up in this, his final season, in the juniors, I'm surprised people want to add him so quickly.

I agreed until I looked at the list of what is left to add

Add Morrison

I think Huska excites me more than Halvy at this point. Skapski got a couple of quality NHL stars. Zboro almost made the winning Russian team in the WJC. Nieves is decent in college.
