I only say it because of a comparison chart I saw where they are similar. I haven’t seen enough clips to make an educated comp
Prospect Info: Danila Yurov RW/C, 24th Overall, 2022 NHL Draft

That's a lazy comparison and doesn't take into account Kucherov did it at a younger age. I have heard Kadri comparisons.
Most people didn't see Kucherov in Kucherov (hence why he went 58th overall), tough to see Kucherov in Yurov...

From scouting reports I’ve read, I’ve seen Troy Terry, Nazem Kadri, and Petterson. I guess it’s the elite brain and puck skills combination that most people are seeing as his defining qualities. I see more of a good sized skilled Forward. Looks like Buchnevich to me.

It’s completely numbers based without taking kucherovs age into it and I mentioned I haven’t watched enough film on him yet.

kucherov had 58 points in 41 mhl games his draft season, yurov had 36 points in 23 games his draft season. kaprizov really didn't play mhl his draft season so very hard to compare. prior draft season scored 34 points in 51 mhl games i believe. bottom line really alot to like about yurov's scoring ability. hopefully yurov can be a stud RW sniper as good as if not better than boldy! spare me any prospect can bust speech. im just excited.

By all means, be excited...I like the pick too, but Boldy is FAR higher than Yurov's potential floor as a prospect is my only point.
Boldy went 12oa in a very good draft, and actually that was him falling a bit further than expected. Boldy was higher than Yurov's potential floor even then. Now that he's showing that he's on his way to be closer to his ceiling? Yurov's potential floor is far lower than Boldy.
The point is, if his floor was Boldy, he'd be a surefire homerun pick at this point. He's not.
His floor is Yakupov.
Y’all need to cool your jets with Boldy. Let’s see how he does away from Fiala.
I feel the same. It seems as most people are already making him a star. Do I think he’s good ,yes. I want to see more myself.
Yeah, I want to see if he can carry a line before talking about anything more than $5M per year.

nobody can predict how good a prospect will be however imo yurov is the most exciting pick since kaprizov. i think boldy will be a 30G scorer and i think yurov has that potential. i was wrong about sokolov , i was right about kaprizov. who really knows , im just amped!

nice start i'll be hoping for close to or similar #'s to kaprizov draft plus 1 so anything close to 53gms 11G 16A 27 points will be awesome! so far 4 gms 1G 2A
Yurov isn't Kaprizov level talent. Maybe closer to Buchnevich which isn't terrible too.

well im hoping for better than buchnevich meaning i want 30G way sooner than it took buchnevich. his D1 khl was 40 gms 7G 11A 18 points. it took him 9 yrs (i believe) to reach 30G. also he was drafted 3rd rnd 75th shouldn't i have higher expectations?
If he puts up 0.45 PPG in KHL this year and turns into a Buchnevich type for us, that is a resounding success. It’s not like we drafted him in the Top 5 or even in the lottery

Really? He was pretty ordinary till last season, when he was 26 yo. I would hope that a 1st rounder like Yurov, and one who was considered to have top 10 talent in his draft year, would have a higher ceiling than a 3rd rounder.
I am expecting more from Yurov. By most reports he is a very smart, well rounded player, as well as having offensive talent. I don't think you could say the same of Buch when he was younger.
