Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 (edited) Correct me if i'm wrong but the guy who has just been voted MVP in the n/m has never been drafted? I believe he has played over here in the minors, and had a handful of games for the Vipers in the old IHL back in '98 but no one picked him up. I was curious to know if anyone can remember him playing here and what he was like? Judging by his stats he seem's to have gotten better as he's gotten older. Last season he played for Russian Elite side Ufa Salavat Yulayev, where he shared the n/m duties with Sergei Nikolayev. In the Russian Elite league last year he posted 1.98 GAA and a 0.923 save % in 38 games. Not too shabby in what is regarded as the next best league to the NHL. He's registered at 6' and 175lb, and is 32 in August, so not over the hill in goalies states. Any thoughts , if anyone fancies checking it out his team mate who is also undrafted and only 22 could be worth a shot. Dmitry Makarov, good age and size and looks to be just coming into his own.
