Blues Draft Russian Goalie at 123

The St. Louis Blues shocked everyone by drafting Russian goalie Vladimir Proskurin at 123rd overall, a late-round steal with solid stats and potential. Though his record wasn’t stellar, he posted two shutouts and a .921 save percentage last season. He’s expected to return to his Russian club for another developmental year. With Jordan Binnington likely backing up Joel Hofer next season, Proskurin’s path to the NHL is long — but not impossible — especially if he can impress in the KHL. He’s behind several other promising goalies in the system, and the Blues still have more picks left — possibly targeting forwards, since none have been selected yet.
