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.
Observations
September 2026 – Vyazovoy continued his rise toward becoming a legitimate NHL goaltending prospect with a standout 2025-26 season in the KHL. The 23-year-old goaltender went 27-18-5 with a 2.13 GAA and .931 save percentage for Salavat Yulaev Ufa, taking over the team’s No. 1 role and helping establish himself as one of the league’s more promising young netminders. He also went 4-5 in the playoffs, giving him another strong postseason sample. Vyazovoy remains in Russia as Seattle continues to monitor his development, and his performance has made him one of the organization’s long-term goaltending options to continue to watch. Jayd Serdy
July 2025 – Vyazovoy finished the season incredibly strong, with a 14-7-1 record, and 1.80/.938% stat line, playing better as the season progressed. He sat second in goals against average and tops in save percentage. He remains unsigned by Seattle, at it remains to be seen if or when he will make the trip across the ocean to join Coachella Valley or Seattle. He is only 22, and there is plenty of time for that to work itself out, but he would remain a speculative stash at this point. Alex Wyatt
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
