Preaching to the converted, here. If Marat and Ohgren are more or less being handed spots here, Yurov should be too. He had far better seasons than they did, and MN has a crying need for top 9 talent on an ELC next year.I don't disagree with you regarding long-shot prospects but where does long-shot begin? Kayumov was a mid second round pick in 2016 much the same as Kantserov is in 2023.
I'll just say this - if I were a Wild fan I would hope they get him over here sooner than later even if it means he plays in Iowa for a year or two.
