Yevgeni Volokhin - 144th overall

A third goalie? Really?

Future Considerations: N/A
Elite Prospects: N/A
McKeen's: Honorable mention
Hockey Prospects: N/A

McKeen's say:

A big, athletic netminder who was excellent in his rookie MHL year with Mamonty Yugry. Russia has been churning out quality netminders, seemingly out of nowhere, as of late and there is a great chance that Volokhin could be another one. His technique and approach need major refinement to find success at the higher level, but the athletic tools are pro quality.

That name sounds, what's the word I'm looking for....oh yeah. Russian.

But that can't be, can it?

It’s almost as if the Habs are making a statement. But I’m not sure what that exactly is.

Gorton did this with the Rangers too. Lapointe mentioned that goalies take a long time to develop and it's better to have many going at the same time.

The old build a team from the nets out chestnut. Plenty of elite forwards available once you find your Price/Markov/Subban trio

Sure. We had Price, Weber and Petry and then we cast our eyes on all the elite forwards that apparently grow on trees.

And our top scorer had 28 goals.

How long do we keep his rights without signing him?

 

[GGpX]

Four years, I think.
