Top 25 Under 25: Danila Yurov places at No. 9 after draft

Welcome to this year’s Top 25 Under 25 series. If you’re unfamiliar, we’re going player-by-player in a ranking of the top 25 Minnesota Wild players that are under the age of 25. It’s fairly simple. Enjoy!

There were so many differing opinions on Danila Yurov and his status heading into the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
