Excellent skater, stands out right away. Great on edges, powerful strides, fast acceleration.

Yurov knows where he's going with the puck before he gets it. His handling is very good, looks like an NHL player already.

IQ is outstanding. Smart player, knows where everyone is on the ice at all times. Sees plays before they happen it seems.

Forechecking:

Defensively Yurov seems to be in the right position, he does not shy from physicality and often wins puck battles.

It's a toss up between his skating and his IQ but I'll go with his IQ. Extremely smart player.

Not really a concern but would have liked to see play run through him more often.
