Prospect Info: 2023 Draft #12: LW Daniil But

[Bonsai Tree]

i feel like you are unaware at times that this is a hockey prospect website.


really this has been a good showcase of our scouts ability to identify players. Everyone who we wanted to show well seems to be really impressing. Doan has been everything we wanted and more and Geekie really has really shown what his upside is.

Really? How far is Geekie from breaking into the league?
We face a new and novel problem. We need to manage how we introduce these young, talented players to the big team. I don’t want But, Geekie, Shimashev Doan and Lamoroux all coming up in the space of 1 or 2 seasons.

2-4 seasons. i think Mike Gould did a good projection of which players arrive when (although he left out Ben McCarthy) on the weekend.

At some point in the coming years, it'll matter less when a prospect is NHL ready. Instead it'll be about when a prospect can steal a roster spot from another young player.

Doan is going off again today, too. Might be the best player of any team in this entire rookie showcase. It’s possible.

Yotes point leaders at the Rookie Faceoff:

Doan — 4G, 3A
Geekie — 3G, 3A

Geekie needs this season in the WHL and the following season I could see him bouncing back and forth between the NHL and AHL.

They won't. Doan will probably get some NHL games as early as this season. I think he's an an injury call up guy but perhaps full time 'in 24/'25.. Geekie is two seasons away. But and Simachev in three seasons and Lamoureux is 3-4 away.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Szuber will be a full time NHLer before lamoureux and that’s something I really didn’t expect when they got drafted

100%
Szuber is way ahead of schedule.

You said earlier you would like to see 2-3 rookies a year on the big club. Now you think 4 over 2 years is too many? I think you are putting the cart before the horse here.

He’s a monster folks.

I thought it was Conor Garland until I realized he was on his knees.

I’m thinking they’re all forwards over the next year or two. That’s my worry.

Good chance we get a D late in the top 10 this next draft. Yakemchuk is big, old for his draft, and likely to crush the Dub this year. Jiricek is already playing professionally and his brother sure didn’t take long to make an impact in the AHL.

Plays the same game as an 18 year as he did as an 11 year old:

He's not very big for an 18 year old.
