#2025-nhl-draft

You saw it in the skate test - he blew away his group. For a guy his size at his age to be able to be that efficient as a skater is really impressive. For someone that big, that you think is only going to grow into being a big power forward that can skate like that, is very unique.

The signing ends speculation that Prokhorov might make the jump to North America this fall. After being taken by the Sarnia Sting in the CHL Import Draft, there was the possibility he would elect to play in the OHL to speed up his transition to the smaller ice. Instead, Prokhorov has opted to remain home, a decision that Islanders fans will watch over the next couple of seasons.
