Islanders Sign 2025 Second-Rounder Daniil Prokhorov to Entry-Level Deal

The 18-year-old winger is slated for an OHL loan to Sarnia to begin his North American development.

Overview

  • The team announced a three-year entry-level contract with Daniil Prokhorov on Tuesday.
  • Reports indicate he will be loaned to the OHL’s Sarnia Sting for the 2025–26 season after being taken in the CHL Import Draft.
  • Prokhorov leveraged an NHL out clause from his Dynamo Moscow contract to move to North America.
  • Because he is unlikely to reach 10 NHL games this year, his entry-level deal is expected to slide to 2026–27, with a second slide possible the following season.
  • The 6-foot-6, 218-pound right wing scored 20 goals in 43 games for MHK Dynamo St. Petersburg last season and is viewed as a multi-year development project.
