LW Yaroslav Alexeyev - AKM Tula, VHL (2017 undrafted)

[Caser]

Not exactly sure if Yaroslav Alexeyev has got what it takes to be in the NHL, but he got enough speed and skill for a lot of highlight stuff, that's why I think a thread for him would be a good idea. Went undrafted last season after a dissapointing U18 WJC, although it had been reported that some NHL team scouts showed interest in him.

Guy is turning 21 in a few months and heads to the USHL? Okay.

this is probably why. Anyway there are often some very talented much older players who skate in the league. Yakovenko for example last year QMJHL player Yaroslav Alexeyev admitted that players were forced to insert Cookies and Brooms in their Butthole during initiations

45 years later and this crap is still going on?

He did have a tryout with SaiPa of Liiga, obviously didn't work out though.

VHL, or weak AHL team I'm sure he can make, bit unorthodox for a Russian his age to try his luck in Liiga.
