No that's fair, I don't think Shesterkin is particularly charismatic. That's why Vasilevskiy is probably a good comp.

I think Vasy would be best-case and Bob would be the low-end comp unless Shesterkin really does not pan out. Bob has a few things working against him:

-Vezina years in a very non-marquee market...

Oh good call. Definitely a good comp if Shesterkin can put together at least a Vezina and a Cup (which is not a given but not impossible).

Right. I think Shesterkin has the *potential* to be a better goalie than either of them, but won't have the same popular appeal. So you're probably right that he tops out around the same point unless...

That is a child-like understanding of the game. The goaltender is only 1 piece in the overall story of goal-scoring rates in the NHL over the decades.

Shesterkin hobby potential

Among goalie gurus Shesterkin is possibly the best goalie in the league. He's going things with his edges and how he moves that are different than anybody else has done before - bordering on...

So according to a LCS in Cambridge this is purely coincidence. Apparently the owner of MNT is from the area originally so this basically amounts to a guy moving back home.

What's going on with MNT and KSA? Are they merging?

I noticed that MNT's mailing address recently moved to Elmira. Coincidentally that is the same tiny town in Ontario where KSA is located. This could be a total coincidence, but it does seem odd that...

Long-term hobby upside: Crosby vs. McDavid YGs?

You can still get 91-92 UD boxes for less than $45 without much effort. But you're far from guaranteed a PSA10 Hasek in every box.

So I've been building a set of French 91-92 UD from sealed boxes for my PC (I'm an 80s-early 90s set guy). You'd be surprised at how flawed many cards are coming out of packs. I think I got 2 or 3...
