When the Philadelphia Flyers drafted Egor Zavragin 87th overall in the third round of the 2023 NHL Draft, he was still a little-known Russian goalie prospect toiling away in the MHL, Russia’s junior hockey league.
In his own words, a Philadelphia Flyers prospect will play for HK Sochi in the KHL next season. No, not that one. 18-year-old goalie Egor Zavragin will take his talents to Russia’s highest level of hockey in 2024.
On Tuesday, Egor Zavragin, arguably the best goalie prospect the Philadelphia Flyers have, was traded by Yugra Khanty-Mansiysk to KHL club SKA. St. Petersburg in exchange for monetary compensation and VHL players Matvey Kabush and Egor Gurzanov.
Eight of the 10 Philadelphia Flyers’ draft picks participated at Development Camp in Voorhees this week. Matvei Michkov and Egor Zavragin were not here.
