Yegorov dressed for 4 teams. 2 different cities. Numbers weren't great, but hopefully a more stable year / more games does him some good.
With Lipinski, he'd have to a phenomenal year for him to warrant an NHL contract / make sense for both sides to get him to the pros next summer. If not, if I understand the NCAA NHL rules correctly, he'll be a UFA after his 2nd year. At least with Yegorov, there is a lot more runway where the Flames have his rights.
It's a shame that Flames don't have the other Russian Yegorov from that draft though. Yegor Zavragin. 3rd round pick. .917 save percentage in 43 games in the KHL as a 19 year old. Flyers might have a gem there.
