Miromanov looks like a solid prospect from what I have seen. He might have been passed over last year cause he was playing in a lower league. He looks very, very big out there (listed at 6'3 but looks like a monster on the ice) and can skate very fast.

Can make quick plays with the puck, great hands and a lot of creativity. Manages to jump into plays and make things happen in all three zones. Has a solid wrister but can also set up plays. Doesn't mind throwing his weight around.

Need to watch him more. At first glance, he looks like a kid that you wanna have in your organisation. Solid potential. If he posts good numbers and keeps on improving, he will be drafted next summer.

Kid scored 4 goals in a single playoff game this week.

Finished the year with 42 points in 64 games as a rookie.

Looks like a prospect to me even though he was passed over last season. He has some nice potential.

What a step back.

Well what did you want him to do? Surprised he wasn't assigned to the MHL though. Also still impressive to go from the GTHL and being a nobody to getting KHL games within a few years.

Maybe what mos posters here claim they want from a player:determination to earn a spot by hard work rather than running off to NA minors again. There was a clear statement by the team that he is not making the KHL roster right now. Fine. That's perfectly okay for a guy his age. Why isn't he trying to stay in the system and develop until he is good enough for a KHL roster spot? Going back to QMJHL now is disrupting his development curve.There is no better competition, so there is no challenge. He's been there already, but it is still again a jump to a dfferent system and country in the midst of a hockey season.

After club has terminated a contract with a player can they still assign a player to the MHL? Was under the impression his only option was to find a new club. Also don't know why his contract was terminated, either he wasn't good enough or he asked for it.

Yeah, had to think the guy would want to play professionally. IE ECHL or even AHL. I like junior hockey and all but this seems like a step back for him.

He was playing as a Forward last season with the Titans. Played as a defensemen in Russia in the beginning of the year, he told the Wildcats management he would like to continue playing at that position. Interesting decision as he was having some decent success last season as a Forward.

Is he still playing as a defenseman? Does he have a chance of making an AHL/ECHL roster? His numbers look pretty impressive.
I`ve seen every wildcats home game since december, and honestly Daniil is a pretty good talent put to waste as a Dman, The only reason he is not getting burned on a nightly basis is the fact that he is bigger and stronger than his competition. Someone needs to tell this kid that his future in hockey is as a forward, my god can he ever skate and might have one of the best shots in the Q right now, Pro level. Right now he`s playing the game like some sort of midfielder, or a 4th forward.... spends 1/2 his shift deep in the offensive zone, is gassed, and let`s the forward who covered him play the other 1/2 of his shift in the defensive zone, that`s if he doesn`t just head to the bench on a bad change.

Could/Should get an AHL contract, but as a forward.... like I said, good talent alot of tools, but the transition to D is exposing his lack experience and once he hits even playing field in the strength/speed department he won`t hang in NA long, unfortunate because he`s not only a nice kid, but he does have potential.
