Yurov agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension with his KHL team Magnitogorsk Metallurg on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Yurov was selected first overall by the 24th in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft on Thursday.
The Russian forward's stickhandling skills and offensive creativity are reminiscent of previous generations of players from Russia and the former Soviet Union. He is a fine skater who can deke his way past defenders or blow past them. An OK playmaker, he is not overly physical. Can also be useful on the penalty kill because he knows how to create turnovers.
Long Range Potential: Talented, shifty winger with upside.
