    Who knows? Goalies are weird and it's not really possible to compare them across leagues. He's a very good prospect though and he's about to sign his ELC. He could be here by the weekend playing AHL games.

    Ya, I'm with Eric when it comes to talking about goalies and what they are like in other leagues. You never really know what you have until they get here. Look how long it took Jacob Markstrom to finally look like a capable NHL starter and I remember years ago people talking about him when he was "the best goalie not playing in the NHL".

    You never know. He could jump right in and dominate or it could take him 3+ years (at least) before he even becomes fantasy relevant.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    There are definitely better goalies in the KHL. But Elvis is a very good prospect who can very likely play in the NHL very quickly.

    I grabbed him to stash. I also have Shesterkin and Demko. But ill be able to hold Elvis hopefully until some more news comes about either him or Shesterkin. I can only afford to carry over 2 goalie prospects to next season.

    Well, Demko should be on a NHL roster, so maybe that works for you.

    I don't think Elvis is the best goalie prospect outside North America, but he's highly touted, and I'm happy to have him in my super-deep dynasty. He likely does have the best name of any serious goalie prospect outside North America, though.
