Dmytro Timashov

As a prospect drafted in the 5th round, Timashov has sparked conversation of becoming a mid-round steal. This past season he split time with the Québec Remparts and the Shawinigan Cataractes in QMJHL. With Québec he posted 53 points in 29 games, once he was traded he registered 32 points in 28 games.

Furthermore, once the playoff run started for Shawinigan he turned it up a notch. In 21 playoff games he tallied 28 points as he helped the Cataractes reach the Presidents Cup Final.

Now with a junior career behind him, Timashov will look to forward to his first year of pro hockey. It will be in the step in the right direction if he can put up numbers at this year’s rookie tournament.

Timashov will more than likely start with the Marlies this season. Which is why it will be a good thing if he can leave a good first impression on Sheldon Keefe, who will be coaching the prospects and will be coaching him once the season starts.

Also, with a good amount of forwards graduating to the Maple Leafs, there will be a few spots in the top six on the Marlies for him to grab.
