BREAKING: 22-year-old punishing defenseman has officially been released from KHL!

22-year-old defenseman has officially been released from KHL

According to multiple sources, Andrei Mironov has officially been released from KHL contract with Dinamo Moscow and inked a new 2-year ELC with Colorado Avalanche.

Mironov is a former Colorado Avalanche 4th round pick (101 overall) of the 2015 NHL entry draft. He played 18 games with Moscow Dynamo last season. He scored 1 goal and registered 3 assists for a total of 4 points.

Scouting reports found on Hockey’s future say, “To call Mironov a bruising defenseman would be an understatement. Mironov has all the makings of an excellent stay-at-home defenseman and enough puck skills to help get the puck out of his zone and to his teammates. Mironov projects as a punishing defensive defenseman. He played with the Russia national team at the 2015 World Championship and is more advanced than most draft prospects."
