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

[Jack Bauer]

Our Future Zucarrello.

Thats probably not a bad comparison actually. Timashov even has some size on him.

Too early to make any assumptions

In my limited viewings I'm seeing St.Louis. If he had a longer stick...
Am I way off?
(just for the record I'm not saying he will become the next St. Louis that's just who comes to mind when I see him play)

Lacks that high end speed. Stylisticaly he is more like Wellwood.

Thanks! Wellwood as a tank is still something nice. I had high hopes for Wellwood.
Do you think his skating can be addressed or do you think he's at his physical limitation?

 

[Johny Drama]

In the games I saw, Timashov reminded me a little of Borschevsky, but physically stronger.

Hopefully he turns out to be a steal.

What I'm liking is that all the post about him are comparing him to high skill guys but a bit stronger!
Very encouraging.

Skill is skill and he has got it.....a great pick!

Drafting players like him is how we rebuild our prospect pool.

Definitely believe it can be adressed, plenty of time to work on it.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

The way he plays, I don't think his skating is a concern. It's not like he's slow...

I am always thrilled to watch this kid - soft hands, quick release and very opportunistic

Your link isn't to timashov.

Right - sorry my mistake

Will Timashov be the first to graduate from 2015 class for Leafs?

He has the size, he'll be 20 next year (late birth year) and he looked really good in preseason.

5'10", 192 lbs., he doesn't need to grow at all.

Very well could be the case.

Marner will most likely also graduate to the Leafs next season.

I would guess AHL bound.

I believe I read somewhere that Timashov thoroughly impressed Babcock at camp this year. He's also absolutely destroying the Q thus far. Like you said, he's a tiny bit short but he's an extremely solid 192. He may start with the Marlies but I don't believe he'll end the year there!

Maybe not

 

[BigWilly]

Marner will be given more opportunity than Timashov, he's the higher pick and he isn't eligible for the AHL. That being said, y'never know.

Marner's biological clock may be the determining factor. He's still a boy and not everyone turns the corner at the same time.

Just going to high school grads (wife works school board) over the years you see men and boys graduating on the same stage and you think there must be 5 years difference between them, and you know that isn't true.

Though I understand your point, t's just very hard to imagine Mitch Marner in the OHL for a second post draft season. He already tears apart the league, it won't help him to play there any longer. The history of top 5 prospects who don't make their team in the first 2 seasons post draft also really speaks for itself.

Many people around here feel that stomping inferior competition for years on end is the right way to develop a prospect.

 

[leafers]

Maybe not

Maybe not, but most likely.

I don't see how another year against junior players will help his game improve.
