"An opportunity to play in the second-best league in the world would prepare him for the NHL game shortly after signing his ELC. But through five games with Dynamo, things haven't shaped out the way Prokhorov or the Islanders had hoped, with the young forward playing just 11:07 through the first five games of the season, recording a single shot and a -1 rating."
"Now, according to Elite Prospects, Prokhorov is listed as a member of MHK Dynamo Moskva, the organization's MHL (Russian juniors) affiliate, signifying he has been sent down. It could be the best thing for the 6'6" forward's development to get more ice time in the MHL. Prokhorov has spent the last two seasons playing with MHK Dynamo Moskva and will have the opportunity to improve on his 2024-25 campaign, totaling 27 points (20 G, 7 A) in 47 games."
"If he is to spend the remainder of the year in the MHL, it will be looked at as a missed opportunity for the Islanders, as Prokhorov was selected in the CHL Import Draft by the Sarnia Sting, which would have allowed him to play in the OHL this season, transitioning to the North American game. Regardless, Prokhorov is still an extremely raw talent, and more ice time is what's best for his development."
Daniil Prokhorov made Dynamo Moscow's KHL roster but logged only 11:07 across five games, registering one shot and a -1 rating while often listed as the extra skater. Elite Prospects now lists him with MHK Dynamo Moskva, the organization's MHL affiliate, indicating a demotion intended to provide more ice time. Prokhorov previously recorded 27 points (20 G, 7 A) in 47 MHL games over the 2024-25 season. A CHL Import Draft selection by the Sarnia Sting offered an OHL path and North American transition, but extended MHL play prioritizes development through increased minutes.
