Prospect Info: 2023 Draft #12: LW Daniil But

[lanky]

Good thing we have a bunch of picks… Can see the the draft meetings. Hold my beer and give me a dart..

Our scouts have shown a lot of early promise. They deserve more credit than you're giving them.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

This single-handedly makes me feel so much better.

I think we're trying a new draft strategy - draft best friends who will want to stay together at all costs. Sure we overpaid, but at least they aren't returning for a meaningless sophomore season in NCAA.

 

[lanky]

We're now stacked with big RW prospects.

Guenther 6'2
But 6'5
Doan 6'1
Matikka 6'3
Fedotov 6'1
Raty 6'0

Are these the players we tanked for? Frick we could of actually had a team and drafted these guys

I actually really like But. That said I’m not even close to an amateur scout. I just read scouting reports and watch highlights. He just always stood out to me

I think he is right handed who plays the off wing

 

[YotesFan47]

Not my favorite selection, especially since my 3rd rated prospect, Benson!!! was on the board. I heard someone say he could be Tuch, I think we'll be pretty happy with the player in the end.

 

[PHX FireBirds18]

The fact that we took two Russians and have been preaching an identity about wanting to bleed in the dessert has me so excited about the potential here. They obviously did their homework and grabbed their guys.

You're not wrong.
So is Fedotov. It's how they do it over there. Usually they get switched once they arrive in North America.

 

[rt]

But speaks English too? Awesome.

 

[LittlePipes]

I wonder if he's related to Bertha Butt

one of the butt sisters

 

[Sinurgy]

That last play was pretty sick, great stick work in close and deceivingly quick. Goalie totally didn't think he could pull that back and stuff it like that.

Liking this kid more and more as I dial myself back and really watch and read. I’m just gonna ignore the draft position for now

Holy shit the shootout move at 39s looks like Vrbata after drinking a gallon of red bull!

Tanking isn't just about drafting high, it's also about quantity. It's about five 1st Rd picks last two drafts and 12 picks overall this draft.

Also, our scouts have certainly done much more scouting than anyone on this board, and nearly every analyst in North America is biased towards NA players. Those draft prospect rankings are highly suspect.

 

[Edenjung]

Do we know If He is related to Wiktor But? The merchand of death?

What a great pair of…hands. Wow!

 

[Prarievarg]

Can we add polls to the prospect threads? Like a 5-scale pick grade from "hate it" to "love it".

Would be interesting to have a f40 consensus grade on each individual pick.

Not really into that.... but we can do a thread giving everyone a chance to grade them all together at the same time.

That would come after the other rounds are done.

 

[gorsk11]

Watching the video highlights. He looks like a taller version of Ryan Leonard maybe without quite the physicality of Leonard. If he matches Leonard in play and scoring. This could be a nice get at 12. Watch Leonard highlights then But highlights. Very similar.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

What a great pair of…hands. Wow!

This is what stood out and the fact the kid has really good agility...what did Simashev call him the "Russian Tage Thompson"...haha!

 

[PHX FireBirds18]

BA in the pre-draft interviews when But said he likes to watch and emulate Tage Thompson…
