Danila Yurov's Player Profile

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - June 29th: "He didn't have a point in 21 games in the Kontinental Hockey League but his average of 1.57 points per game (36 points in 23 games) was fifth among players with at least 20 games in Russia's junior league."

Mike - Morreale - June 29th: "Yurov is a smart, hard-working, two-way forward with good vision and a high compete level in all three zones. He's under contract in the KHL for at least one more season but taking a chance on him here could be a smart value move. "

Peter Harling - NHL Rumors - June 27th: "His usage in the KHL was limited and it would have been nice to see him play more minutes in another league."

Jeff Svoboda - NHL.com - June 27: "Time will tell what will happen with Russian prospects in this draft given the conflict in Ukraine, but just about everyone agrees Yurov is an NHL-level talent after making it to the KHL this season. He has excellent vision and is an all-around offensive player, helping him project as a top-six player down the line."

Dave Hall - Dobber Prospects - June 18th: "Although he may not hold the softest of hands, he protects pucks well and does not shy away from going into the dirty areas. It is uncommon to find his feet stationary, as he brings a tenacious, workhorse demeanor, and loves to pressure the puck carriers to seek out turnovers."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 6th: "He plays hard and fast, he pushes tempo, he’s a strong and balanced skater, he’s an excellent give-and-go player who excels at playing in and out of space without the puck, his shot comes off of his blade hard in motion (though it could use a little more versatility)."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 31: "His stick skills and overall creativity with the puck are high-end. He’s a good skater and shows excellent ability to beat defenders with speed or with dekes."

Chris Peters - Daily Faceoff - June 10th: "When it comes to hockey alone, Yurov is a top-tier talent in this draft. You wouldn’t know it by his pro numbers, but Metallurg never gave him a chance to showcase himself as he’d play one to two shifts, or sometimes no shifts, in games he dressed for."
