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

[KRM]

Wicked chemistry with Nylander.

 

[bigdirty]

This is turning into the opposite of a Burke/Nonis draft. Love it.

Even if just one of these small, skilled late round guys turns into a home run, we're winners in this draft.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Think the kid could put on a bit more height? Not scared of him being so small, just curious, seems thick.

 

[FlareKnight]

I'm ok with the focus being on the speed and skill right now. A fair point made that few guys for any team's draft will make the NHL so it's better to go after the guys with high levels of skill so you can get the most NHL players possible. If the team needs more size then you can always trade some people.

 

[HeroNtF]

Great pick !! I wanted him in 3/4th round.

Leafs doing a great job going for skill today.

 

[FifthLine]

I don't mind the size thing. As long as they have a plan I'm fine with what ever they do. They clearly are trying to stockpile talent as much as possible. Obviously all these players won't all be on the leafs together,their assets. Skill has more value in trades then size.

 

[Byron Bitz]

keep in mind these kids are still very young and may still be growing

 

[Leaf Lander]

I gotta admit I'm not really comfortable with how small we are.

I get that taking one or two smallers guys here and there is smart but this is getting ridiculous

I'm with you

 

[crump]

remember we are starting 3 on 3 in overtime...these guys are money, once they are ready in a few years, they might be at a premium...speed and skill is the way to go in OT..going to worth a lot of points.

#Leafs pick Dmytro Timashov with 125th overall pick. Many believed he'd go a lot higher...

This is a draft, not everyone makes it to the NHL. The team is just drafting who they believe is the best talents going forward and now it's up to the players to take advantage of the development programs and become the best they can. I don't count on or believe everyone will make it.

I'm just happy we are focusing on high reward possible draft picks.

Easier to trade skill for size than size for skill.

Is it? I know that's a quote that Dubas floated but is it? It's near impossible to get big top 6 forwards.

 

[Bernier the Boats]

You guys are saying every pick is a steal lol

Refreshing to see just all out home run swings at every pick except Nielsen. Every other pick was a huge home run swing. Most will bust, but the ones that hit will be very good.

Its also near impossible to draft them. You need to truly believe in their ability to score etc, not just find a big dude who can skate and hope he magically develops hands and vision.

 

[BigBlu]

Grit Grinder Low Centre of Gravity?

John Cullen?

Agreed in my outside voice

 

[Willie Oree]

Decent goal and assist here.

 

[Steven1562]

Burke's head is probably exploding. More truculence!!!. Yeah size over skill got us nothing.

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

He looks way too much like a male Arya Stark.

 

[topched]

 

[Highlander23]

For people affraid of size, keep in mind that these players won't be all playing on the same roster in the same time

 

[Jack Bauer]

Great pick. Kid is built like a tank and has great vision.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Uh oh. Another pretty boy.

The blue collar portion of the fanbase ain't gonna like this.

 

[Semantics]

His stat line is hilarious, he seems almost as bad at scoring goals as Barzal.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

5'9, 192 at 18/19? Kid's a tank.

This. That's a well-built kid for the height. Excited by what I'm seeing about him
