WHO is Yuri Babenko?

[simbot]

There was not much word of this guy at all in training camp of him being a threat to make the team... then the first game this kid plays AND GETS PP time!!!

Also, he's not on the Avs prospect page, which is kind of puzzling.

Babenko is a former avs prospect, who, if i remember correctly, went back to europe to play. if you say his name anywhere on the avs roster or scoresheet on espn or something, they were wrong. i noticed they screwed that up on espn friday.
