University Of Connecticut Huskies‘ junior left wing, Russian-born Vladislav Firstov(8) will leave a year of school on the table, as the Minnesota Wild 2nd round pick in the 2019 draft (#42 overall) is going to sign a 3-year entry level deal and get things started with affiliate Iowa Wild.
He put up almost identical numbers this past season as he did in his freshman year and was a point-per-game guy in a limited schedule as a sophomore.
The 6’1 181 lbs. forward had a similar run in one year of USHL for Waterloo Blackhawks.
His college team was able to make a deep run in Hockey East playoffs for a 1st time ever, and at only 20-years old he will likely be banging on the door for his shot at the NHL.
