Update: Lindgren play. So will Fast. It was maintenance for Fast, but he's in. Hayes is feeling better. He'll practice tomorrow and the hope is he can play Thursday. Waiting on an update on Adam McQuaid, who skated. If he's good, he'll play. Unsure of the D that sits.

They come together, if you want only one you will have to remove Kreider from TPC yourself

Is Sorokin really a better prospect than Shesty? Sorokin always ranked above him. I know shesty is on a great team but his numbers are staggering

They're pretty close in terms of statistics and they both play on powerhouse teams. SKA St. Pete is way more stacked, but CSKA is incredibly deep as well.

I don't know a ton about the mechanics of goaltending and won't pretend to. Sorokin's numbers are marginally better over the last three seasons, including the current one, and he has significantly more playoff starts and has posted insanely-good numbers in during the post-season.

Pronman also just released his prospect rankings and has his top 3 goalies as Shesty, Samsonov, and Sorokin but notes that it’s really too close to call. Should be exciting to see how they pan out

It'll be fun to watch. Hopefully they both come over and go from being KHL rivals to NHL rivals.

Igor Shesterkin, New York Rangers
Age: 23 | Drafted: 118th overall in 2014

Previous ranking: 4

Shesterkin is a very fun goalie to watch. He’s incredibly quick, makes unique saves and has a lot of energy in his game. He’s become more controlled over the years, improving his positioning and staying square to pucks even while moving quickly. His size is my only concern, but his athletic tools of production are otherwise fantastic.

Ilya Samsonov, Washington
Age: 21 | Drafted: 22nd overall in 2015

Previous ranking: 1

Samsonov had a tough start to his North American pro career. The tools are all there for him to succeed as he’s a big goalie who moves incredibly well and has the sense to succeed versus pros. He gets caught being overly aggressive a bit too much and needs to improve some reads. I don’t like overreacting too much to a 20 game sample for goalies, so despite his brutal numbers, I still believe in Samsonov.

Ilya Sorokin, New York Islanders
Age: 23 | Drafted: 78th overall in 2014

Previous ranking: 3

Sorokin is having yet another great season in the KHL. He’s a well-rounded goaltender. He’s big, moves well but does so economically, squares up a lot of pucks and is a calming presence in the net. The big question on Sorokin is when is he coming over; with his contract expiring in 2020, Islanders fans will have to reserve a little more patience.

Age: 19 | Drafted: Ninth overall in 2018

Previous ranking: 17

Skating: 50
Puck Skills: 65
Physical Game: 50
Hockey sense: 60

Kravtsov has been very impressive over the past 12 months in the KHL and international play. Kravtsov’s point totals haven’t been amazing this season in the KHL, but Chelyabinsk has a weak team. His game is defined by his skill. When Kravtsov has the puck, he’s looking to make something happen. He makes the flashy skill plays seem routine. His playmaking has also consistently impressed me this season. I wasn’t 100 percent on that aspect of his game going into the draft, but I think his vision is high-end now. His pace at times could be better, but he can skate fine when he gets going. The main thing with Kravtsov is improving his compete level. He can get lost on the perimeter and taken out of games physically.

Both goalies are great. Shesty has split some time but has fantastic numbers. Sorokin is more of a positional goalie and Shesty is more athletic.

I was thinking the same but the position is starting to trend towards larger guys. 6-2, 6-3. Some are even taller obviously. It sounds like he is still tall enough to be effective. Looking for that guy who is tall/big enough to naturally cover the net and still athletic/quick enough to move around.

This is the dumbest comment you will find. Most elite goalies are not hue to begin with. They need to be able to move laterally and quickly at that
