Ilya Nabokov's Player Profile

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3: "He was an MHL All-Star a year ago and then one of the best goalies in the KHL this season, winning its rookie of the year award and then KHL playoffs MVP after he backstopped Magnitogorsk to a Gagarin Cup title. He’s a mobile and extremely technically and positionally sound goalie who gets to pucks, recovers quickly, sticks with scrambles and tracks well through traffic, but also stays controlled."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 28th: "He has very good quickness, although for his frame it's not the Juuse Saros type of quick-twitch you'd ideally like to see. Even though he's been great versus pros this season, there are questions on how his game will translate into the NHL due to his size, and whether he can back up this performance in future seasons."

Colin Hunter - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 20th: "It’s not often that you see a 21-year-old selected in the NHL draft, but it’s not often that you have the opportunity to draft a goaltender of Nabokov’s quality either. After a strong start to the KHL season, Nabokov has shown great in-season development, and his regular season and playoff statistics reflect that."
