There was a slight amount of panic in the air when we all caught wind of what was happening to Yegor Zavragin to start his KHL season. The top goaltending prospect for the Philadelphia Flyers (and one of their best prospects no matter the position) was set to have an increase in opportunities — building on his stellar KHL rookie season last year. But that didn’t happen.
Last season, Zavragin was set to just hang out on HK Sochi, a lesser KHL club compared to his actual team SKA St. Petersburg. He was sent on loan to get more opportunity while still playing in the same league he normally would.
