Fantasy Summary

A good sized goalie who has had success at the lower Russian levels. Will need to translate that success to the KHL level to be viewed as a potential fantasy asset.

February 2025 – Vyazovoy continues to gain steam in the KHL, sporting a 1.87 GAA and .933 SV% across 20 games played. Those numbers put him third and fourth respectively among KHL netminders. Vyazovoy remains a relative unknown as far as NHL potential stands, given that he currently is unsigned by Seattle. He is certainly deserving of a speculative investment in deeper leagues that would allow a manager to stash him even if he doesn’t come to North America. Alex Wyatt

 

September 2024 – Vyazovoy had some excellent numbers in the MHL and VHL over the past few years, completing the 2023-24 season with a line of 20-13-4 with a 2.54 and .929 in 37 games for his VHL club. He is starting the 2024-25 season with Salavat Yulaev Ufa in the KHL, where in minimal action, he hasn’t yet replicated his lower level success. Keep an eye on him to see if he finds his footing. Alex Wyatt

 

November 2022 – Vyazovoy continues his strong play across the MHL and VHL this season. He has a 2.14 GAA and .943 save percentage in Russia’s MHL, and has seen seven games at the next level up- the VHL- with a 2.14 GAA and .920. If longshot goalies hold value in your deep dynasty, he’s worth stashing and paying attention to his potential to come to North America, because despite the renaissance Martin Jones is having in the Seattle crease this year, the Kraken’s net is wide open for someone to claim the full time job. Just be prepared to hold him a long while as you wait. Alex Wyatt

 

June 2022- Vyazvoi played in 41 of the team’s 64 games, providing a 2.01 GAA and .927 save percentage. He finished with a 25-10-3 record, compiling five shutouts. The MHL tends to be a tough league to project future performance from, and young goaltending prospects, in general, are very difficult reads. Measure this before investing too heavily in a 19-year-old goalie with only a few seasons under his belt. Alex Wyatt
