Russian-born, giant 6’4″ 215 lbs. defenseman Yan Kuznetsov(2) decides to leave a crazy 2nd year of only 16 NCAA games played with University Of Connecticut Huskies to sign his 3-year entry level contract with Calgary Flames.
He was chosen (2nd round in 2020, #50 overall) after a strong freshman campaign, where he tallied modest career highs of 2 goals and 9 assists in 34 appearances with a +5 rating.
The only just turned 19-year old did most of his youth hockey in the homeland but came over for a 2019 Clark Cup Champion season with Sioux Falls Stampede of the USHL before committing to college.
He will report immediately to affiliate Stockton Heat to get started.
