It's hard to find scouting reports on Zarubin. There was that video posted a couple of times now where some amateur scouts had him ranked #1 for 2024 draft eligible goalies. It's been posted a few times so I won't post it again.

Pronman had this to say:

Quote:
Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 28th: "He's fast, but controlled in his movements not oversliding pucks that much. He's a smart goalie who anticipates the play well. The only real issue I have with Zarubin is his tendency to let in long-range goals, but everything else looks like an NHL goaltender."
