    Sure. I grabbed him in his draft year in a dynasty that has since folded.

    First off, it's back over, as he was over here for a year or so. He was one of the better sleeper goalie prospects in his draft, and he's been developing reasonably well. I think that since he's been over in North America already, there's a good chance he'll be back over.

    He's already been over, was getting used to North America, and then gave it up to go back home to Russia. He appears to be someone who would rather play in the KHL at home than in the NHL. The Oilers terminated his contract to accommodate his wishes to get out of North America. He's 20th in the KHL in save percentage this year, so he's not dominating his league like we'd hope. He's only 24, but there are three younger KHL goalies outperforming him. I cut him outright in my dynasty. If you ever hear that he's coming back, pick him up. But I'd wager that we'll never see him in the NHL.

    There are a significant number of goalies out there in the same boat as Konovalov in that they are long shots to make it to the big show. Simple as that really. The Russian factor is also at play here. Yet, a few of these guys will make it and who knows, Konolov might be one of them. Worth a stash if it costs you nothing, if it does cost you something I'm certainly not going there.

    I wont be surprised to see him take a similar route as Koskinen did. At some point, I can see him taking a shot at the NHL but it wont be for a few years at best. He'll need to prove his worth in the KHL before an NHL team will give him a legit shot at playing full time in the NHL. I dont think he wants to come back over and play in the AHL again but who knows. If he can get to that level then he's got a shot of coming back over. If he just stayed mediocre in the KHL, that's where he will stay.

    He's not someone I would be heavily invested in at this point.

    That's so helpful thanks you guys. The fact he is not out performing other guys in the KHL is not a good sign after being here.

    Any other obscure goalie prospects you guys would recommend?
