Philippe Boucher, head coach and GM of the Quebec Remparts has big plans for one of the Toronto Maple Leafs Prospects.

Dmytro Timashov, one of the Maple Leafs prospects from the 2015 draft, is set to be a major impact player for the Quebec Remparts in the 2015-2016 season.

In a recent article from le Journal de Quebec, Boucher talked about Timashov playing on the top line, and how he makes everyone around him better. This is a google translation from the article.

“Few players have the skills to make the best players, and Dima can. No matter who he plays, his vision of the game can make his teammates better.” (Philippe Boucher to le Journal de Quebec)

It’s nice to see high praise for one of the Maple Leafs prospects, but it will be even nicer to actually see Timashov in a major role without Adam Erne. This will truly be Timashov’s team this year.

This scenario is likely what the Toronto Maple Leafs saw when they anticipated development plans for the players they’ve drafted at the 2015 NHL draft. Timashov is a gifted offensive player who recorded 90 points in 66 games during his rookie season in the QMJHL – and in North America.

From EliteProspects.com:

“An agile winger with very good puckhandling skills; his explosiveness opens up space for himself and teammates, giving him the ablility to create dangerous chances at top speed. All-in-all, a dangerous player that will shock audiences with his speed and creativity.” (Elite Prospects)

It looks like the Toronto Maple Leafs will get a better gauge on who they drafted in the 5th round of the 2015 NHL draft when Timashov hits the ice for the 2015-2016 season.

Timashov attended the Maple Leafs prospects camp earlier in the summer and is expected to attend the next camp as well.
