Continental Hockey League (KHL) - Yuri Alexandrov (Boston Bruins) finally got back on Severstal’s lineup in his team’s OT loss to Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk 3-2.

| Russia tops Czech Republic and gets into the semi-finals
U20 World Junior Championships - In the first game of the medal round Russia encounters hosts of Czech Republic and rolls over them with a great second period and a solid overall performance. After the initial shakeout stage, the first chance of the match comes to Kugryshev at the second minute of play after a nice pass by Milekhin. After that a foul by Seleznev puts the home team on numerical superiority, but Czech PP isn’t simply good enough to outplay the Russian PK unit which plays very well, especially with Yuri Alexandrov (Boston Bruins) and Kurbatov...

| Draft Rankings and Comments: |
2006 NHL ENTRY DRAFT
Rank 1: #1
Rank 2: #1 Ranking Comments:Alexandrov is holding steady as the top eligible Russian by performing well at the Super League level. He is also the captain of the 88 born national team and is really developing into a power play quarterback there.
Rank 3: #1 Ranking Comments:Alexandrov delivered a strong performance for Team Russia and was hands down the squad's top defenseman. His experience in the Super League, combined with his international performance places him right at the top of the RussianProspects Final ratings. When comparing him to Russia's recent top defensive prospects, Alexandrov reminds of Volchenkov, but skates better and is more maneuverable than the latter. Alexandrov still needs to bulk up and learn to better play physical hockey to continue his development into a top defensive prospect.
| | Talent Analysis: |
Nov 2006 Update (U20 4 Nations Tournament – Czech Republic): A good skater with impressive acceleration …adequate backwards and lateral movement … uses his speed well … good at his end but possesses solid offensive skills … possesses good vision which enables him make very good passes and speed up the play … has a very good outlet pass … solid stickhandler and very effective on a power play … moves the puck well … has a hard slap shot … decent positional play … stays with his man all the way … could be more physical but isn’t afraid to hit … was best Russian defenseman of the tournament.
Scout 1: a solid skater with a fluid stride and smooth acceleration... rarely gets beaten by speed...okay lateral movement and pivots...decent backwards speed, but could still be improved...makes use of his mobility in the defensive zone...stays back in his own end when asked to play defensively, but is frequently willing to jump into the play and support offensively...can move the puck out of his own end and make passes which fasten the pace of the game.. adequate stickhandling skills and hand-eye coordination...can distribute crisp accurate passes ...decent offensive vision .. occasionally tends to play with his head down...aware of the positioning of his linemates on the ice...a good asset to the power play units...impresses with a hard and accurate slap shot but should make use of it more often...when inspired likes to fire slap shots from the point and looks for a position to shoot...strong power play pointman...is progressing in his ability to quarterback a power play and is making more precise feeds on the offensive blue line ...decent positional play...stays with his man all the way and is tough to beat in one-on-one...needs to add some pounds to his frame...throws the occasional solid hit and shows decent toughness, but still could use more of a mean streak.\r\n\r\n
Scout 2: A dependable defenseman…shoots left…doesn’t have many weak spots…main area of improvement is his body mass and strength– he is very light…good top speed… skates well backwards …a technically sound skater…a strong leader (1988 born national team’s captain)...aggressive – likes to hit, likes the physical aspect of the game…a capable power play quarterback…dangerous as both a shooter and a passer…shot – not bad, good strong shot…solid first pass out of the zone…controls the puck well, modern two way defenseman…gets ice time in Cherepovets – not much, but consistently gets ice time.
Scout 3: This young defenseman is in a lot of ways better than Grebeshkov and Tyutin at the same age. He is somewhere at the level of Volchenkov, but skates better and is more maneuverable. His potential is that of the top defenseman, but he needs to add more mass (he as already started to improve in this area) and play physical hockey. Continues to be passive on the boards and in physical play, preferring to instead use his stick. Doesn’t like to be in close physical contact, but at times is capable of doing this well. Doesn’t hesitate to shoot at the net from the blue line. Joins in on the offensive only in certain situations and doesn’t hurt his team defensively by doing so. |
| Back In Russia: |
| Before 2006: Yuri Alexandrov was born in Cherpovets, Russia and is a product of the local Severstal hockey system. The young mobile defenseman has been a long time member of the North-West regional team that competed with junior squads from other Russian regions. He has also been a member of Russia’s 1988 born team since 2005. 2005-06: Alexandrov made his Super League debut during the 2005-06 season training camp, surprising many by earning a spot in the lineup and spending the rest of the season with the club. While not yet one of Severstal’s top blue liners, at just 17 Alexandrov has already become a Super League player. The young defenseman was also one of Russia’s key leaders at the 2006 U18 World Junior Championships. While the final result of the tournament was far than a success for Russia, Alexandrov was fairly solid for the team and was one of the few bright spots on the blue line. 2006-07: Alexandrov continued to be reliable on Severstal’s blue line, again spending the entire season reliable as a top four defenseman for the Cherepovets based club. He made a successful debut on Russia’s U20 squad, skating for the team during most of the season, including at the silver medal winning campaign at the U20 World Junior Championships. The young defenseman largely played a utility, stay at home defenseman role on that team. He has remained with Severstal for the 2007-08 season. 2008-09: After he got a severe shoulder injury in the season's start he returned back stronger than before as he had a break out season constantly playing in the top defensive pairs, scoring eight goals in 26 regular season matches. Unfortunately Severstal didn't conquer a playoffs spot. In July he took part to the annual Boston Bruins' development camp, but it looks like he'll be back in Russia for the 09-10 season. |
| NHL Outlook: |
| Yuri Alexandrov was selected by the Boston Bruins with the 37th overall pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. The young prospect was projected to go in the late first round, but slipped to the second likely due to the lack of a transfer agreement between Russia and the NHL. He was the top eligible Russian prospect, but this did not make one bit of a difference in regards to his fortunes at the draft if the recent trend of not drafting Russian born players continued. Alexandrov has the potential to develop into a reliable defenseman, capable of quarterbacking the power play. Additionally, he already has extensive Super League experience, something that is usually possible to achieve for forwards, but is virtually impossible to accomplish for young blue liners in the Russian hockey system. Overall, he could develop into a reliable top four (likely second pairing) NHL defenseman. |
