NY Islanders' second-round pick in 2025 will play in the KHL this season

After being selected by the NY Islanders in the second round of the 2025 NHL Draft, Daniil Prokhorov has been named to Dynamo Moscow’s KHL roster for the 2025-26 season.

After his PTO with Dynamo Moscow, the Islanders elected to sign the massive Russian forward to an ELC. After putting pen to paper, the Isles loaned Prokhorov to the KHL club where he’ll spend this season playing in one of the world's top leagues.

Prokhorov makes KHL roster

Once inking his ELC, questions arose as to where Prokhorov would spend this season. With his CHL rights being owned by the Sarnia Sting of the OHL, there was the possibility he could make the transition to North America if he were not named to Dynamo's roster.
