40 points in the KHL? That's good enough to get benched!

I'm so jacked for this kid!

 

[MNRube]

3rd straight game with a goal and 6 goals total in 18 games. Another scoring threat in the top 6 would be huge

Fantastic news. Really hoping we get a guy who can score 35-40 goals a year.

A Semin to Kaprizov's Ovechkin would be nice.

A Semin to Kaprizov's Ovechkin would be nice.

Except more longevity hopefully

Let's not forget, Yurov was a consensus top 15 ranked prospect on draft day (on Bob McKenzie's list, he was 8th in prelim and midseason, 14th in final rankings). We just happened to pick him at #24.

Excited to see if he'll develop into a player that can fit on our first line with our star winger ... Zuccarello.

Give it time and I’ll be putting him ahead of Wallstedt on the prospect rankings. Love Yurov

But how does he compare to Caufield?

 

[DigitalBoldy]

But how does he compare to Caufield?

Their skill levels are both superb. Way better than big plugs like Boldy

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Marat and Ohgren seem more "complimentary"; we could really use another line driver. Hope he's it.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

When might Yurov be ready? 2 years? If somehow he was ready next year that would be fantastic for a lot of reasons.

I'm growing confidence in Rossi's projection as a 2nd C or at the very least a top 6 wing ala Granlund depending on how his defensive and faceoff skills continue to translate.

All of a sudden things might look okay with the following on the team over the next 4-6 years+:

-Kaprizov
-Boldy
-Ek
-Rossi
-Yurov

I feel somewhat confident in Gaudreau/Hartman/Foligno's roles as secondary players and as above-average 3rd liners should we ever be in a position where we can re-focus them in those roles.

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

Can you imagine if we had Yurov and Snuggerud coming up?

As much as we all groan about the love for players like Foligno, a 3rd line focused on tenacity of Ohgren/Khusnutdinov-Hartman-Foligno and an energy skill line of Milne-Dewar/Gaudreau-Walker might be actually dangerous.

 

[AKL]

Can you imagine if we had Yurov and Snuggerud coming up?

Sometimes I imagine

Kaprizov-Rossi-Yurov
Fiala-Ek-Boldy

 

[DANOZ28]

Can you imagine if we had Yurov and Snuggerud coming up?

yes,yes i can i would probably be dancing on the ceiling! (not that anythings wrong with ohgren just snuggy would be better)

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

Sometimes I imagine

Kaprizov-Rossi-Yurov
Fiala-Ek-Boldy

This would be how the Wild turn into a true contender.

That being said, we should have the cap space once the dead money is up to sign a 1st line caliber player if we'd like to do so.

In that case I think you could still get a version of this.

Yeah, Yurov can maybe move in with him, and babysit Zucc's kids.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Yurov had a primary assist in 2-1 loss today.

4+5 in last 8 games.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Passed his prior year point total in 40 fewer games. Not bad.

 

[Minnewildsota]

But he is dynamic!?

 

[AKL]

In Kaprizov's D+2 year he scored 42 points in 49 games. Yurov would be on pace for 34 in 49 games, but he's also paced over a point per game the last 8 games so maybe he'll catch up a bit.

 

[AKL]

Also, this feels like it could be just a stat keeping issue, but in those 8 games he's been credited with 16 hits, and he was credited with 0 prior to that.

Anywhere close is more than good, its outstanding, because Yurov brings some different elements to his game - size, center/wing versatality, two-way ability.

His KHL team seems to be one of the best in the league and he's tied for 1st in scoring on it with 2 games less than the other guy. If he keeps this pace up as is, I'm truly excited!
