He was a late addition to the team, but there were signs he can add a needed dimension.
In this edition of Detroit Red Wings Fast Forward, a series that projects how a player will perform in 2020-21, the subject is forward Dmytro Timashov.
Timashov was one of general manager Steve Yzerman’s no-risk gambles, claimed Feb. 24 after he was jettisoned by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Leafs drafted the 5-foot-10, 192-pound winger at No. 125 in 2015. Born in Ukraine, Timashov grew up playing hockey in Sweden before joining the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in 2014-15.
