Doesn't look like he's been getting much powerplay time lately, is this because he's leaving after the year?

His average PP icetime this season is pretty much the same as last season.

His average PP icetime this season is pretty much the same as last season.

Every box score I look at shows him to be on PP2, at best. A lot of games he's the 8th forward in PP time so I didn't think that's the same as last season.

I mean, not like last season he was a first-line, PP1 player, he still is Metallurg's #2 or #3 center and the overall usage is sort of according to that role.

I thought he was PP1 last year but I could be wrong. I remember him getting a lot of PP assists.

Even if he's getting the same amount of PP time, it sure is weird the team leader in points last year has 7 forwards getting more time than him.

Last season he averaged 2:20 PP time/game. 1:02 in playoffs.
This season he's currently at 2:22 game.

Yes, though it's less in all recent box scores. My post was more questioning why your lead scorer (not playoffs, I am aware...) is PP2 at best. Wild how much powerplay time there seems to be to go around. If it's not strange to you and Casar, that's also cool. I was asking out of curiosity.

If I was Danila Yurov I'd stay in Russia until the end of 2026 season to give optimum chance of being an NHL regular and maybe Star...No sense spending time in Iowa on "Farm" team even for a short period of time

I reckon you're overrating Yurov a little.
Last year was his break-out season, leading the team in points.......but Razin (coach) still appeared to shelter him at times. It's not like Yurov is the star of the team. Metallurg has no stars, but they're deep at forward. Offense by committee is how they won the Gagarin Cup last year, along with strong defense, goaltending and coaching.

But Yurov hasnt looked as good this season, for whatever reason.
