After a strong Day 1 at the draft with three first-round picks, the Islanders continued to make strategic selections on Day 2. Their first second-round choice was Daniil Prokhorov, an imposing 6'6" winger known for his physical play and hard shot. While opinions vary on his overall game and potential, many scouts and analysts see promise in his skill set. Prokhorov expressed motivation to enhance his shooting abilities, showing confidence despite attending the draft alone due to family commitments.
Daniil Prokhorov is a tall, physical beast who likes to chase players down and lay big checks, and has a hard shot to go with his frame.
Prokhorov, through a translator, said he's always "motivated" to shoot and is looking to improve his shot's NHL caliber.
Anyone who has picked up RECRUTES DRAFT GUIDE knows that I am high on Daniil Prokhorov. He is 6-5.5, 220, and severely underrated on public lists.
Prokhorov was at the draft in person alone, stating that his family was unable to accompany him due to a wedding.
