Fantasy Summary
He is a good fallback to give a longer look in the off-chance that both Hart and Sandstrom fall through, still years away from being an NHL fixture though.

Observations
February 2019 – Despite then Flyers GM Ron Hextall’s pledge to not use an early 2017 pick on a goalie, it seems his mind was made up for him when Ustimenko was available well into the third round. Flyers management could hardly be blamed given how dominant Ustimenko continues to be in the MHL, the top Major Junior Hockey League in Russia. He has also proven to be dominant in international play at the U17 and U18 level. While he is not Shestyorkin or Samsonov in pedigree or track record, he is closing the gap quickly with his continued improvement and success. He tracks the puck well despite being athletic for his age, and only gets aggressive when he needs to be. Through it all, Ustimenko is a name to remember when planning out your depth chart in dynasty leagues. Edric Joseph
