Inks ELC Yurov signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Wild, the team announced Friday.

Impact The 24th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Yurov has spent the last five seasons in the KHL, finishing with 13 goals and 12 assists in 46 games played this past year. His best season was two years ago, when he had 49 points in 62 games. He figures to make an instant impact in the Wild's forward group in the 2025-26 season.

Released from KHL deal Yurov has been released from his KHL contract with Metallurg, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Tuesday.

Impact The termination of Yurov's KHL contract clears the way for him to sign with the Minnesota Wild ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Per Russo, it's far from guaranteed the 21-year-old winger will stick with the organization next year, as he could opt to return to Russia rather than play in the AHL. As such, it may be NHL roster or bust for Yurov heading into training camp in the fall.

Back in action Yurov (ankle) logged 14:21 of ice time for Metallurg Magnitogorsk in Sunday's matchup with Avangard, registering three shots.

Impact Yurov, as expected, is back in action for the KHL playoffs after recovering from a long-term ankle problem. Looking ahead to next season, Yurov is expected to sign with the Wild once his KHL campaign wraps up, though nothing official has come from the team. Given his offensive upside, Yurov should offer decent fantasy productivity as long as he can maintain his spot on the NHL roster next year.

Has ankle surgery Yurov underwent ankle surgery Thursday and is expected to be back in time for the KHL playoffs, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Yurov was selected 24th overall in the opening round of the 2022 Draft by the Wild and is expected to cross the pond at the conclusion of the KHL playoffs. He could play the remainder of the season with AHL Iowa and then compete for a job at training camp with Minnesota. He has 13 goals and 25 points in 46 games with Magnitogorsk Metallurg of the KHL this season.

Expected in NHL next year Yurov has reportedly turned down a contract extension with KHL club Magnitogorsk Metallurg in favor of making the jump to the NHL next year, per RG Media.

Impact Yurov hasn't produced at the same level this year, generating just 25 points in 45 games compared to the 49 points, including 21 goals, he registered in 62 KHL games last year. Selected by the Wild with the 24th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, the 21-year-old winger could be an option to immediately link up with Minnesota for the start of next season -- though some time in the minors adjusting to the North American style of play would likely do him some good as well.

Re-ups with KHL club Yurov agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension with his KHL team Magnitogorsk Metallurg on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Yurov -- who was selected by the Wild with the 24th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft -- will spend at least the upcoming 2023-24 campaign continuing to play in the KHL. This past season, the 19-year-old winger notched six goals and six assists in 59 contests. If he can improve his scoring touch, Yurov could be in line for a move to North America after he concludes this extension.
