It really cannot be overstated just how much Yaroslav Askarov outshines most of the goalies in this draft. I should probably talk about some of those top-rated guys at some point to give you a better indication as to why, but suffice to say that when he gets picked at some point in the first round, don’t expect another goalie to get picked again until the late 2nd or 3rd round. Which is not to say that any of these guys are bad...it’s just, y’know.
They’re not Askarov.
But if you can’t get Askarov, the kind of player available to you is definitely quite intriguing if you’re willing to put in the work to get the best out of him.
