Lets do this!
I need to see Zaravgin play in a different league other than the KHL. As we all know Fedatov and Kolosov were stars in that league too.Should help the McKenna odds! Gets them a year closer to Zavragin and Bjarnsson too.
I'm guessing Kolosov goes back to the KHL, they send Fedotov down to the AHL, and sign a tandem level goalie in free agency to play with Ersson next year. Allen, Georgiev, Vanecek, Andersen, Forsberg, Samsonov, Lyon all free agents and could make sense on a 1 year deal. Won't send a very good message to the "culture" to not do something about the goaltending this summer. But I wouldn't do anything dramatic. Zavragin is a really solid G prospect right now and his timeline might work out for the Flyers. Plus goalies are voodoo. I wouldn't put too many resources to it until they have a good team to play behind. Blackwood/Wedgewood were journeymen goalies and all of a sudden they're dominant (.918/.917) with Colorado.
Wouldn't be surprised if they use one of their 7 picks in the first 2 rounds this summer on a goalie though. Sounds like there are quite a few good ones starting in the back half of the first round. Not totally opposed to that given the 7 picks, but wouldn't use one of the 1sts on one.
