As we know, offense has been a huge problem for the Devils, and recent picks in the late round have failed to yield dividends. Undersized players who perform also tend to fall in the draft, as seen in the case of Johnny Gaudreau and Brayden Point, and then end up adjusting well and sometimes even dominating the NHL. Alexeyev Yaroslav has the potential to be another undersized forward underrated due to his size.
Alexeyev Yaroslav was born on January 17th, 1999. He’s listed as 5’11, 152 lbs according to Elite Prospects, although Hockey Draft Central lists him as 5’9, 146 lbs.
