Decided the run off would be more interesting than the other option ... graduate Yegorov and then just have a run away day for Lipinski.

[Robbob]

If it is a run off I will go with Yegor again. I don't think Lipinski is long for this organization

[TheIronMaiden]

I loved Lipinski's game. I was a huge fan, but his skating is no where near pro caliber.

[1991 Canadian]

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.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

I don't think either player is long for this team, but at least with Lipinski, you know what you get, and that's a fringe NHLer at best. I don't think much of Yegorov overall, plus he's a goalie and they're hard to project.

Lipinski as the lesser of two evils.

For full disclosure, I had Owen Say in this spot.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Yegor²

Only because he's still got some runway and goalies take time.

[Sandman]

If Lipinski can get his skating up to snuff, he actually has a lot of NHL-translatable qualities. He’s huge (6’4”), has snarl and physicality, defensive acumen, and faceoff skill. I think he could possibly make a serviceable NHL center in a defensive role.

I can't wait for the Round 40 runoff debate
