After existing in the abstract for much of the past couple of seasons, Russian winger Danila Yuorv has officially signed his entry-level contract with the Wild. He will presumably be given every opportunity to start next season with the Wild, though it’s unclear where exactly he will slot into the lineup.

The long-anticipated start to Danila Yurov’s NHL career could be on the horizon after the talented Russian center signed a three-year, $2.855 million entry-level contract ($950,000 AAV) with the Minnesota Wild on Friday.
