Moves up draft board to sixth

DArizona Coyotes Foreign

June 28, 2023

Simashev was selected sixth overall by the Coyotes in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft on Wednesday.

ANALYSIS
Simashev is a bit of a wild card given his Russian birth certificate, and the pick is a stretch given the quality of the players still on the board. But it's hard not to like Simashev's toolsy upside. He's 6-foot-4 and made the KHL out of training camp as a fresh-faced 17-year-old. He didn't stick with that league the whole season, but that's still a notable accomplishment. Simashev has good hands and skates well for his size, but he hasn't really flashed much offense yet. Still, his compete is high, and there's a lot to like in his game. It will take quite a while for Simashev's offense to develop, if it develops at all. He's no Alex Pietrangelo, but he could be a rock-solid Adam Larsson type for a long time. And with luck and the right situation, a bit of Hampus Lindholm (in Boston) might appear.
