kiril ustimenko a goalie from russia that came to NA this season and got sent to echl with sandstrom from SHL
seems like he got called up to ahl and has played pretty good and he had really good stats in russia before coming over and seems he overtook sandstrom on the depth chart and sandstroms a fairly promising prospect so thats saying something
even wrote an aritcle about the game lol
http://www.phantomshockey.com/astounding-ustimenko-2-1-loss-syracuse/ i remember tsn guys saying sorokin? or whatever the goalie from russia was like franchise goalie material and ustimenko had better stats in the same league
ever since then i was wondering like is this guy legit or was he just on a good team or something? but he seems to put up good #s no matter where hes playing so far
we also got ivan fedotov whos a 23 year old in the KHL this season 30gp 2.12 .932 ...those are pretty solid #s for the big boy league over in russia
ersson in SHL 29gp 2.61 .900 with decent #s nothing super great but hes only 20 years old and said to be pretty promising looking
seems like the only goalie that hextall drafted that hasnt really turned out to be fairly promising is tomek
he was highly touted for a while but i think he got some serious injuries that set him back quite a bit but hes still only 22 and playing in slovakia again so maybe he can pull his shit together and be a "late bloomer"
