D Albert Yarullin - Ak Bars, KHL (2011 undrafted)

[Kshahdoo]

Haven't found anything about him on the board. Albert Yarullin 23 years old, 6'0 203 lbs. Scored 0+11 in 7 gp at 2011 WJC U18, 3+2 in 7 GP at 2013 WJC.

He's a two-way defenseman, and right now looks like the best Ak Bars' defenseman (I think he's ahead of Paigin, but he's 2 years older), still young enough. He's got a contract till the next May, and then will perhaps be ready to come to the NHL. As an undrafted free agent, I bet there will be a good number of NHL teams after him. He shoots right btw.

Remember his goals at the 2013 WJC. Howitzer of a shot.

Yarullin is the real deal, only a matter of time before he is a regular on the NT. Then I'm sure NHL teams will give him offers, seems to be the new trend.

Yea he's ok. Reminds me a little of Nesterov. Maybe a little more physical.

Never was projected to be anything special, never will be. A servicable guy, but not really outstanding at anything.

I like him on my team, but he is not a star or star in the making.

Yarullin got hurt today on a dirty hit by Ketov.
