#32 · NHL Affiliated Prospects Guide 2026On both his forehand and backhand, Protas slides passes through skates and sticks, isn’t afraid to dangle, and decisively makes the next play once he identifies it. Not overly physical, he prefers using his reach and frame to box out opponents.
Read Ilya Protas' NHL Affiliated Prospects Guide 2026 report
Without foot speed as an advantage, Protas developed a refined playmaking and off-puck game. He provides short support for his teammate, scans in advance, and instantly moves the puck upon reception. If he’s not connecting with one-touch or redirection passes, he slows to draw the defence before slipping the puck through it. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
