Toronto Maple Leafs Top 10 Prospects (2018)

Dymtro Timashov

Dmytro Timashov is one of the Toronto Maple Leafs top offensive prospects. He’s a Ukranian-Swedish left winger who is currently playing in the AHL with the Toronto Marlies.  This season he scored 13 goals and 34 points in 67 games.

Timashov is 5’10” and 190 lbs. He was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft in the fifth roun, 125th overall.

The Toronto Maple Leafs saw a lot of promise in Timsahov after watching his dominant play in the QMJHL. In 123 games played with both the Quebec Remparts and the Shawinigan Cataracres, he totaled 41 goals and 134 assists.

In his 2016-2017 campaign, he registered 11 goals and 13 assists in 63 games in a Marlies’ uniform. He was able to have more success this past season, as he scored a few more goals and registered a 7 more assists.

Timashov has great wheels and some offensive ability.   He’s got the talent, but it remains to be seen if he can utilize it at the NHL level.  He dominated leagues as a slightly older than average prospect, and has been decent in the AHL.  Andreas Johnsson is 23, Timashov is 21.  Perhaps Timashov can follow a similar path of success and break into the NHL as a late bloomer – certainly his raw talent and project status suggests similarities.  That said, Johnsson is an outlier and most guys who don’t make it by 23 don’t make it.

Timashov has talent, and he could still surprise.  Than talent puts him slightly ahead of our number 11 pick (Yegor Korshkov) but we don’t expect an impact player.  There is almost no chance he makes the team next season.
