Daniil Chaika Facts

Cap Hit: $825,000Powered by
Drafted: 2021 round 2 #38 overall by Vegas Golden Knights
Agency: Premium

Chayka’s best attribute is his reach. He denies a lot of space with his stick and has the footwork to weaponize that reach. His gap could be tighter and more aggressive; his defensive is mostly about protecting the middle and the net. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
