Prospect Info: Leafs Pick #125 - Dmytro Timashov - LW/RW - UKR 5' 9" 192 QMJHL

[RyanOhReally]

Update: Beautful snipe, top shelf on a 2-1. He really isn't that fast but he knows how to slow a game down to his speed, which is good

His assist

 

[RyanOhReally]

So incase anyone comes here and not the Dzierkals thread not knowing how the game went...

Dzierkals had 1 goal and 1 assist, named second star of the game

Timashov had 1 goal and 2 assists, named first star of the game

Great game

His assist

That is insane!

 

[BigWilly]

If the kid gets any faster he could be a real stud.

 

[Mikeyg]

you know what I like the most about the recent picks like him and MD and such... is that they arent just 1 dimensional chip and chase players, they are dynamic. I'm so glad that management has purged almost all the busty biggs like prospects out

It's like that Ovechkin goal, but an assist.

 

[Stephen]

He's been impressive... seems like we have Timashov, Bracco and Marner all figuring to be small skilled building blocks for the future.

He's been impressive... seems like we have Timashov, Bracco and Marner all figuring to be small skilled building blocks for the future.

And Timashov continues to put up points.

Maybe the best offensive prospect today.

Timashov is a deceiving small guy. Hes very strong. When he matures he'll be hard to knock off the puck

 

[Wendelstache]

Our Future Zucarrello.

 

[ULF_55]

Well if he can play either wing, maybe they should just finish it off and make him a center.

 

[Stats01]

I said this in another thread but the Leafs are going to be absolutely loaded with young talent after next year's draft. The pain is now, the gain will come soon after.

Anybody watched this guy on a regular basis? Would love to know more about him

Yes, it would be good to get some eyeball accounts.

You can judge a player based on stats ... but yep another 2 points for the boy.

24 points in 15 games.

unlike bracco, the wellwood comp actually works for Timo in terms of skillset and assets.

except that where wellwood was fat and lazy, Timo is fit and gritty.

still can't believe we got Timo that low.

 

[Leafidelity]

Yeah, to this day I don't really understand what made him drop so low. He did have a 90 point draft year and impressive Mem Cup run.

 

[Ovate]

Well he's short. And short players never work out

Seriously though, short players have much less of their production translate as they move up leagues. Doesn't mean Timashov isn't exciting to watch though. He could break 100 points this year if he's not hit with injuries. He'll be eligible to play in the AHL next year, and I'm excited to see how he can do against men. If he makes that jump, then we've got something really special on our hands.

 

[Gabriel426]

Just look at his size not height. He is a big guy considering he is 5'10. I mean if he is 6'2 with his current weight, thats a NHL ready body.

 

[I am Canadian]

The Facebook notification sounds were driving me nuts in that video.

 

[ToneBone03]

It's so nice for the team to actually pick a player that I paid attention to and wanted them to take in the later rounds. His size is what allowed him to slide to where we picked him & I'm glad that it did. Timashov has top-6 NHL potential, without a doubt.

 

[Jack Bauer]

They played CB last year in round 1 and I got to see him play 3 games in 4 days.

With players like Duclair and Svechnikov on the ice Timashov was easily the most dynamic. Constantly has his feet moving making things happen. Not huge height wise but built like a tank and very hard to move off the puck at this level.

Excited to see how he transfers over to the pro level.
